11. I'm buying tools and raw materials, but only used, and if I can't make it, it's time to learn.

Small, local businesses? Yup. Big boxes? Not if I can help it.

Right now, the only thing I anticipate needing to buy except for food, paper products and consumables are tights and men's underwear. Everything else? I've got a tool and the raw materials.

I knew my fabric stash was in service of the future.
