It literally changes your life.
It allows you to make better life choices from an early time. That snowballs later in life and you end up in a better postion, better off financially, better able to meet and "fix" problems, better able to plan your future etc. Better able to choose the right things, correct choices. The ability to repair or maintain or NOT DAMAGE everything as you go.
Even little things. My neibour bought a petrol mower about 5 years ago. I bought one identical at the same time almost within a week because my automower shaun died. It was decentish and cheap. Mine still looks brand new and got an oil change and a polish and a spray of oil a week ago as it always has a few times a year. It was always cleaned off underneath with a hose pipe after use.
My neibours one has rotted away, rusted through. And is hard to get started and smokes badly. Its now outside awaiting disposal. He obviously didnt understand the importance of cleaning it down or servicing it. Now he has to buy another. He scratched his head and looked confused when he looked at mine.
Its not just the mower. Its everything. Your kitchen and bathroom, your car. Your finances and all life choices. Everything.
Knowledge is power. Even a little!
