In reply to NZ Muse. @NZ Muse, Being able to choose quality is a privilege. It's unfortunate because the more you can choose quality the less you spend, but you need money to choose quality in the first place. It's an awful catch 22.

Really great examples. I really didn’t have the option/cashflow to choose quality much in the past and I relish it now.

In reply to J.D.. @J.D., That's an interesting point J.D., but as I age I'm beginning to wonder is there a time when quality doesn't matter? There always seems to be a cost to buying cheaper goods. It might be our health, our well-being, or the environment at large. The more I weigh the decisions, the more I find that quantity often has a negative trade off.

I love your example of the quality patio set. That hits close to home. I’ve always been one to buy cheap stuff. And I keep re-buying the cheap stuff! But I’m learning. Now that I’m older and can afford it, I’ve prioritized purchasing quality. I’ve learned that it’s less expensive in the long run. More than that, though, I’ve learned that quality often brings more pleasure. It sounds silly but it’s true. The key is to practice mindful spending, of course — to buy cheap stuff when it doesn’t matter to you and to buy quality when it DOES matter.
