    If you but cheap, you buy twice.

      I’ve heard this out two ways:

      Buy nice or buy twice

      And when paying for the more expensive

      Buy once cry once

      I’ve heard this too and it’s true, but also you don’t want to needlessly spend on things either. For example, a good bed is worth the cost, the saying holds up. However, if you buy the pro version of every tool you’ll go broke. You can instead buy the cheap one first, anything you use enough where it would break is then worth buying the expensive one

    “Not my circus, not my monkeys.”

    My life became infinitely better once I understood that saying.
