I need to stop being so cheap with all of the purchases I make on a day to day basis. It’s 1 thing to stop at a crappy fast food joint to get something off the value menu so you can get calories in your stomach for less currency. However, you shouldn’t be taking your source of transportation to the cheapest mechanic you can possibly find. I lived through that situation more times than I would love to divulge over the years. I thought I was paying for brand new brake rotors to be put in our car, although he used outdated rotors with new brake pads and figured I wouldn’t find out. Needless to say, I never went back to this mechanic again and made sure to leave a disadvantage review on the internet. When I needed a new window air conditioning for our wifey’s attic art studio, I was being cheap and figured the people I was with and I could just go with whatever the cheapest model was available at the closest superstore, however this was a critical error. The cheapest window air conditioning in Orland Park, IL also happened to be the loudest 1, and I instantly felt bad for our wifey upon turning it on for the absolutely first time. I knew that it would be a constant source of anxiety and annoyance so I put it back in the box and returned it to the store. There’s no sense in keeping a $300 device if it’s too loud for normal, everyday use. Thankfully the people I was with and I found a better window air conditioning that wasn’t nearly as loud while cycling. I should have bought the better window air conditioning from the start.
