    Throwing money at a problem works, when you are actually throwing money at the problem and not at a symptom.

    For me currently, my car is a good example.

    Problem: I need reliable transportation.

    My car is almost old enough to vote here in the US and while it has been a reliable ride now things are starting to fail left and right. I could spend money replacing the parts that break as they break. Or I could simply replace the car.

    My solution: Just replace the car. More expensive short term, but it’ll be cheaper and far less headache long term.
