Growing up in the shadows of your sibling
In today’s digital era there exist numerous streaming options for music. However, for you, nothing beats a good old CD!
The global messaging platform does nothing for you. You prefer to pick up the phone and give someone a call.
Whether it’s a random “I’m thinking of you” note or wishing someone a bit of Christmas cheer, you prefer to handwrite a physical card and send it in the mail.
No digital albums for you! There’s something refreshing and memorable about taking the time to print out physical copies of the memories you capture.
Whether its corded or you’ve ‘upgraded’ to a cordless model, home phones are still very much a reality for you. It’s a consistent, easy way to reach you.
Instead of quickly creating a contact in your phone, you reach for a pen and paper to jot down someone’s phone number.
You find technology and digital maps rather challenging. Paper maps get you where you need to be and are less of a hassle in your opinion.
Using the internet just isn’t the option for you. You prefer to use sources that are more tangible and can be skimmed while holding.
To you, nothing is better than a hot beverage from the stove top. Microwaves are not needed in this home!
You are confident that you can sell your car without anyone else’s help and choose to put your private number on display for anyone to ring you!
You don’t have time to learn how to record a TV show or to stream. Everything else can be organized around this show time.
You prioritize separating the darks and lights and even wash the whites and delicates by hand, then hang them out to dry.
Grab the yard signs and put your things out on a Saturday morning: it’s time to declutter! You prefer to sell items face-to-face.
Cash is king in your life. Debit and credit cards can pose too much risk, and nothing is quicker or easier than cash in hand.
