This is something that one should always remember.
My mom always had a saying (in another language) which directly translated means, “Cheap buying, means Expensive Buying.” Referring to the fact that often buying cheap, ends up being expensive in the long run. As a Mac fan, this is SO true when it comes to buying PC’s. I went through THREE PC’s in one year, which simply either blew up, or the operating system suffered that blue screen of death. My beloved MacBook is two and a half years old and still going strong. Long live Apple.
This is also apparent in other areas of life. Riders (including myself) will tell you that the better quality breeches you buy, the more comfortable you are, and the more comfortable you are, the better you are able to ride. The better quality saddle you buy, the more comfortable your horse.
Now while there are always bargains to be had out there, remember that more often than not you get what you pay for. Sometimes cheaper prices (yes even in this current economy) can often give your buyers the wrong impression (oh well it’s cheap, so it must be rubbish).
Which is why I’m putting up my Photography and Graphic Design Rates. Ha ha. No, seriously. Because frankly, I’m worth it.
Just like this hazelnut latte I’m enjoying right now, is worth the extra $2 vs the takeout coffee I got from the Mickey D’s drive through this morning.
Price=Perspective.
