一分钱，一分货

last night muay shared with me her views on buying certain stuff cus i asked her opinion on the type of deuter bag i was looking for...

it has always been imbued in me that why get sthg ex when sthg similar+serves the same function+cheaper will suffice?

well it is true that there are certain things which we dont necessarily need to get the better and pricier one (for example handphones...but then again it's really up to the individual) but after looking at what muay msned me-i guess there are stuff which we can really consider getting sthg that is of better quality+last longer...and these product attributes will of course come at a price...

no doubt i'll feel very heart pain splurging on an expensive item but WHAT if the item is so good and lasting that we might not need to get another of such an item ever again? ~well maybe not "ever again" but maybe for many many years at least...

so instead of keep on buying relatively cheaper items and compromise abit on the quality and replace them once they wear out...maybe we can spend 1 shot on a durable and decent product...BUT of course we make sure its sthg we need and as much as possible make the purchase count~so we dont end up buying ANOTHER new one just a few mths down the road making it TWO expensive purchases

the target is to make ONE...ONE expensive purchase for a particular product...

so after some thinking...i have listed some products which i myself qualify for those ONE time splurges...
-backpack
-sandals/slippers
-running shoes
-sports apparel

ooh...come to think of it the target of ONE for some of the items i listed above may not be realistic...i own 2 sauconys le so that category i fail...heh...

kk...maybe i set primary target of ONE...but secondary target of TWO then...hoho....and the 2nd splurge purchase cannot be too close to the first one then...hoho...

so anyway i made my way to fall factor after work today to have a look at gregory nano...no stock so i ordered one for myself...1st splurge purchase on a backpack for myself...to further console myself-i can say that the number of years i have not bought a new bag will more than make up for the price tag of nano...heh

next splurge purchase will be a pair of chaco sandals...that one not an urgent item so it falls into my "save up to get" list...

shit...with the nano purchase...the monthly limit of personal spending i set for myself is almost reached...and i havent bought the protein whey yet...
