Why you shouldn't buy cheap shoes or laptops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I spent between $100-150 on each pair in my closet, and closer to $150-200 for athletic shoes like turf boots, hikers, and runners. These prices seem high compared to the cheap shoes I used to buy, but they last longer, and my feet feel so much better.
The tradeoff to buying more expensive footwear is that I own fewer pairs. I only have two pairs of office shoes, and two pairs of boots all of which I would feel comfortable walking in over long distances.
When I bought my first mattress, the prices were staggering. Most mattresses were $800 to $1,000 each with some costing a few thousand dollars. As a college student,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I had a budget of around $200,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which still seemed high to me. I ended up buying a mattress for $250, not really understanding how much I was sacrificing just to save a few dollars.
How much would you pay for a good night rest? We sleep on our mattresses every day, so when you use the cost-per-use method of breaking down such an expensive purchase,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it becomes easier to understand.
I hate the idea of spending $800 on a mattress, but I now know that a quality mattress will last longer, be more comfortable, and provide me with a better night rest.
If you don wear suits or office wear on an everyday basis, the quality of your clothing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], might not matter. However, if you wear business clothing every day,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then investing in at least one nice suit will be worth it even if it just for interviews.
A cheaper alternative to investing in more expensive office clothing is to get your clothing altered. Sleeves that are too long,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or pants that don quite fit can look unprofessional. Getting them tailored will give you a more polished look on a budget.
A few years ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when I lost my cell phone,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I thought I was being clever buying a cheap phone on eBay. The phone dropped important phone calls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], didn send my text messages, and caused me to look unprofessional to my freelance clients. This past fall, I decided to invest the money to buy the iPhone 4S,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and so far it been well worth the money.
The same goes for laptops. If you only use your computer for checking your e-mail and surfing the web,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you probably be fine with a cheaper model. However, if you do anything else like photo editing, gaming, or if you spend a lot of time on your computer, don cheap out on your computer.
Buying a used new laptop off of Craigslist or eBay might seem like a great idea, but you don know what been done to it in the past. If it infected with viruses,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or doesn work for any circumstance, there not much you can do, except spend the money to buy a new one. However, if you can find a manufacturer refurbished laptop, even if something goes wrong with it, you will be covered under the warranty.

The difficult thing about deciding whether to spend more money on an item is that price and quality aren necessarily tied together. Just because you spend more money, doesn mean you will be getting a better product.
Make sure you do your research. Shop around and get quotes on big-ticket items,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Being a smart shopper doesn always mean sticking with the cheapest price,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].相关的主题文章:
