I often hear, “You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc…” but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?
This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.
Yep, I know so many people that want to get into a hobby, blow thousands of dollars on a crazy expensive set and never use most of them. Either that or the professional tool that has so many features (for y’know, professionals) that a hobbyist would never touch.
The last one reminds me of a retired woman who wanted the best computer and bought a stupid expensive workstation desktop with retirement money. It was made for high core count application and had a low clock speed. Since most applications are single core everything ran like shit, and she wasted all of her damn money.
Buy a cheap, small, with the bare minimum. If they work out fine for you, great, if not, fill the gaps with some actual quality tools.
