“I’m too poor to be cheap!” I had a friend tell me this some years ago, and I asked what she meant. She explained that she preferred to spend extra money to get something with higher quality than spend less money multiple times for frequently replacing cheap stuff. When I heard her explanation, I was reminded about an expensive pair of shoes I bought which have lasted me almost forty years, and I’ve walked thousands of miles in these expensive shoes. I paid for quality, and I don’t begrudge the investment!
