I don’t think that is a poverty reaction. It is the heart of a treasure hunter. Rich people might not do it, but their lives are less rich without it.

Fear of bed bugs keeps me clear of just about anything I see on the street.

My first thoughts are always about the logistics, “Could that fit in my car? How could I move that thing?” It’s not til afterwards that I actually think “Do I even need that? Is it even in good condition?”

“Do I sit on the floor or roll the dice and see if that couch has bedbugs and mrsa?”

I can’t complain about my financial situation (after 20 years of work) but I’m still breaking and looking at stuff on the streets. All that new stuff looks awful imo and I haven’t got the time to build it all myself. So, still breakin’ & lookin’.

I have no idea what bedbugs are, we don’t have em in my corner of the world. But from what I’ve heard over the years I’m starting to think they can resist any and all insecticides ever made by humans.
