Nah that is why I don't buy highpriced geegaws. My money is working for me. You hipsters wave your money around by buying your highpriced gadgets. If you met me on the street you would think I was just another wage slave trying to make ends meet. That is the secret I don't need to work everyday because I don't spend money needlessly. I am not rich. I just don't waste money.
I've been using plan from a book first published in 1926 for almost 30 years. I gave that book to my daughter just a few days ago. She is now almost halfway through college AND will have it paid for by the end of the first year after she graduates because she applied the principals in that book to her college plan. She doesn't own high priced geegaws either.
You know ... I’ve got a relative who gets everything “cheap” ... and I mean it’s just the price tag that counts. From what I see, it ends up being just junk, and things don’t work, they’re a hassle, food tastes bad, the life-span on products are shorter than normal, and they waste a lot of time hassling with the products, even when they are supposedly working.
Now, I don’t, on the other hand, just get the most expensive things I can find, but rather a middle ground of the most cost-effective, taking into consideration, usability, life-span and the general comfortableness of using it. I tend to not get products that make me “work for the product” but rather something that has been engineered to “work for me” as much as is feasible.
This relative I was talking about ... when I accuse her of actually “wasting her money on cheap products” ... she then says I get the “most expensive thing” I can find - when I actually don’t and I show her that I don’t ... LOL ...
I’ve found that if I have a product in which you “use it” and you end up hating to use it, because of how badly it is made, or that actually using it breaks it ... then you never “get your money’s worth” from “usage”.
With Apple products, I get my money’s worth, plus they can be used heavily and you don’t get tired of using them and they don’t quit working, and they’re pleasant and a real joy to use by the way they’re designed. Apple has designed excellent products!
