Is stinginess cool😈?

Admittedly... not everyone has the necessary money to buy high-quality products.

I don't want to question the fact that sometimes you can get lucky and get something for a low price that will last a long time.

However, these are exceptions.

The fact is, high-quality materials can be affordable - meaning they are worth their price - but they can hardly be considered "cheap", and the service provided around the product also needs to be paid for somewhere!

There is a thought-provoking "law of economics" by social philosopher John Ruskin that everyone should think about:

"There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are this man's lawful prey.

It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

The law of economics forbids paying a little and getting a lot. If you accept the lowest bid, you have to add something for the risk you take. And if you do that, then you will also have enough money to pay for something better."
