Experience is the best teacher
August 14th 2010 -
A piece of wisdom was once passed on by a mentor. “You will repeat your mistake until you learn you lesson.” It was so simple to understand yet I never really applied this gem until lately.
I am thrifty! I’d rather buy the cheapest shirt than a branded one. I like my money’s purchasing power to be stable. I love to save! And I love discounts and sales.
Now I learned my lesson: It’s better to buy more expensive quality products, especially when you plan to be using these products for a long period of time. When you go for quantity instead of quality, because you are thinking you are saving, well, you’re wrong. You may be spending more because the turn over of these products is high. The higher the turn over, the more you buy for replacements making you sacrifice your own hard earned money. As they say experience is the best teacher.
