Going for quality doesn’t mean we’re stuck up or living
beyond our means—if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. Going
for quality means you appreciate the finer things, can see the
sense in buying well-made, well-produced things because they
will:
- Last longer
- Be stronger
- Not break so easily
And this means they will not need to be replaced so often,
which means you might actually be saving money. They will
also make you look and feel better.
Now that I’ve latched on to this Rule, I really enjoy that antici-
pation before I buy something. I make sure it really is the
quality I am going for and not just the price. I still shop
around for a bargain, though—it’s just now I look for the qual-
ity items but I’m prepared to find them at the lowest price.
IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD IT,
DON’T BUY IT.
