Last summer I worked in a company that was being managed by a person who I think has serious problems related to money. He wants to see it all coming in, without having to spend. It amazes me is that, how can he not notice that what brought him money in the first place, like investing and going for the expensive but fruitful equipment was what got him here in the first place?
Thank you for bringing such important topic up, Rok
Thanks for sharing that. Not sure how much influence within the company your manager had, but I imagine it can be difficult for such a company to grow without investing in its people and things. Funny how personal money issues can really change the dynamic of a team. I appreciate you sharing your story.
Eeeeek! Super excited about this post. These are things that I am so appreciative that you are bringing up. It’s so imperative..especially in today’s world.. that we are committing to quality over the fast quick easy fix. Costs less… but really…??? Does it? I have learned this time and again as an adult! From buying GE (bad!) dishwashers to buying exfoliating scrubs at the store. All I want is to have a glow!!!!! For real people..
Thanks so much for the kind comment :) I've done a lot of unhelpful purchasing too. And you also brought up an interesting point I didn't touch on in this article. Choosing partners, and the relationships we have, the best ones create energy, improve the quality of our time and aren't an excessive burden financially.
Love it, love the stories. Most cheap things will break twice as fast as the thing costing twice as much, and will be less effective while you use them.
This applies to so many things, but the one that immediately comes to mind is cheap food. People eating heavily processed stuff when, for a few dollars more, you can get something made with real ingredients and nourish your body. Truly worth investing in! Thanks for the read.
Thanks William, I totally agree. I imagine a lifetime of cheap, unhealthy food can cost a lot in medical fees down the road. I think there was a long term study about this in fact.

Yass! I realized that reading your post. Got me thinking! 🤔

So true. Interesting isn't it? How we can know this but still gravitate towards quick fixes if we aren't mindful.

I’ve said often.. buy cheap, buy twice!
That's a good motto! A nice reminder whenever we are buying something.
