A very close friend of mine recently made a comment (on lighter note, tho) that I always buy expensive items for everyday use. He went on to say that I must be filthy #rich (even though he knew pretty well how broke I am). I tried to reason with him but he joked that these were excuses.

Honestly tho, expensive (and branded) items last long. In general. Take an iPhone for example. The last #iPhone I was using was a 2017 iPhone SE. Even in 2022, I regularly received security patches. Get me an #Android OEM that does this!

IMO, there are two types of items you buy: 1. Those you wont be bored to use even after a couple of years, and 2. those you plan to replace in every couple years. For the latter, I always go fore the cheapest available option. And the for the former, it requires a bit of time and effort to make the appropriate choice. But, generally, this costs me more.

So, what are your reasoning before you make a purchase decision? #asknostr
