Great quote from the article: "When you buy something cheap and bad, the best you’re going to feel about it is when you buy it. When you buy something expensive and good, the worst you’re going to feel about it is when you buy it." Of couse, this assumes that you can afford it at all. But largely accurate if so, IMO.


This also assumes that expensive == good. In my experience, that's not always true, or even often true. Then you feel really bad.


"expensive AND good" is part of the quote. Both are necessary for the full effect of the quote. But yeah, if it's not true, then you feel really bad.
