    I've heard this too and it's true, but also you don't want to needlessly spend on things either. For example, a good bed is worth the cost, the saying holds up. However, if you buy the pro version of every tool you'll go broke. You can instead buy the cheap one first, anything you use enough where it would break is then worth buying the expensive one

    What I've heard (fairly recently) is do not skimp on anything that goes between you and the ground: bed, shoes, office chair. I'd add carpet to that because my feet hurt standing on hardwood/vinyl/thin carpet and I often have to wear shoes indoors.

      Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.

          Hardwood is great, but you need to plan where you're hanging around. Area rugs are useful, and for dishes or cooking a good spongy mat is useful and looks nice

            Keep making that face and it will freeze like that!

            Yes, your 43 face muscles tell a story depending on how you work them out, or don't. Saw my ex after a few years and was stunned. You can tell at a glance that she's a woman who never smiles, face entirely slack.

              If you but cheap, you buy twice.

              It's mostly true, but not true often enough that makes it worth to buy cheap (and possibly twice), hoping for the lucky inexpensive quality item, then to buy nice, hoping you won't have to buy it twice anyway cause it was just overpriced.

              Also agree on what others suggested: buy cheap first, then if it breaks, buy quality.

                One in the hand is worth two in the bush.

                    Conservatism is just regression.
