Reuben asks a list of questions so here are my answers (all things being equal)
should i buy new clothes or op-shop? Op shop ideally - less wastage should be able to get the same for less.
which OS should i use? (should i pay for it?) No - marginal cost of a new OS is close to zero marginal benefit of any particular OS is generally not great (might mater to some people).
should i keep my promises? Usually - but break where this contradics more important things (ie dont keep a promise if you have to kill someone to do it).
should i go bush? - Depnds on lots of things but generaly i would say no - not sure the point of it.
should i grow my own veges? - you are probably less efficiant than a big farm but if it saves you money good on you.
should i keep fit? Generaly yes - it will probably benefit you in the long run.
should i wash spiders down the plug hole? No - althings being equal.
