I like to spend money on good quality items that can save me money in the long run.
A quality made pair of shoes can last more than 10 pairs of cheap shoes, the same goes for electronics and food.
It’s better to buy good quality items at a slightly higher cost than buy a bunch of cheaply made garbage that gets tossed in the trash after a few months. I just bought a pair of cheap socks that looked so comfortable, but within less than two weeks they were filled with holes. How is that possible with some socks? The same idea goes when buying an air conditioner for your home. You can buy a really cheap unit that is all shiny and pretty in the store only to take it home and find it doesn’t even cool a small room down. Call any air conditioning expert and they will tell you the best brands to buy to save money on monthly power bills. If you buy a cheap unit, it will not only break sooner but also be less efficient, costing you more money each month in electric bills. I spent a lot of money on my multi split air conditioner with a programmable wifi type thermostat, but it was money well spent. I like doing the same with clothing and with cars, buy the best possible and you will save time and money. Our air conditioning provider offered us many ideas on saving money with the cooling and heating of our house. He is a great guy and a good friend of mine now too.
