Expensive Things That Are Totally Worth the Money
There’s nothing wrong with being frugal, but the smart man buys once, the fool buys twice. Meaning, if you buy cheap, that product will fail on you and you’ll just have to buy it again. The smart guy buys quality products once and they last forever. In short, there are things in this life that you don’t want to cheap out on. In the long run, paying what seems like a bargain price for some of the following items will only end up costing you more.
節(jié)儉沒(méi)錯(cuò),但是聰明人只買(mǎi)一次,傻蛋買(mǎi)兩次。意思是說(shuō),如果你貪了便宜,東西會(huì)壞,之后你又得再去買(mǎi)。聰明人買(mǎi)一次高質(zhì)量的,就可以一直用。簡(jiǎn)短說(shuō),生活中有的東西是你不想要圖便宜的。長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看,在買(mǎi)下述有些東西時(shí)省錢(qián),只會(huì)讓你未來(lái)花得更多。
1. Tattoos
1.紋身
If you’re gonna get something permanently etched on your person… if you’re going to bleed for your commitment to say, the visualization of your favorite Foreigner album cover, then don’t you think you should pay for a quality artist? Until laser tattoo removal is perfected, that ink is forever. Put in the time for exhaustive research on best artists in your area and then pay them the money they deserve.
如果你想要把什么東西永遠(yuǎn)地刻在自己身上…如果你要為自己的承諾流血,比如要刻你最?lèi)?ài)的外國(guó)專(zhuān)輯封面,那么你不覺(jué)得自己該為高水準(zhǔn)的藝術(shù)家多付錢(qián)么?在激光紋身去除技術(shù)完善之前,紋身墨水可是會(huì)永留的;〞r(shí)間潛心研究下你所在地區(qū)最棒的紋身藝術(shù)家,然后付給他們應(yīng)得的錢(qián)。
Long-term cost if you go with the “bargain” option:
如果圖了便宜,未來(lái)要付出的代價(jià):
Permanent shame, and uncomfortable looks from your parents around the dinner table during major holidays.
永遠(yuǎn)的恥辱,還有重要節(jié)假日時(shí)在晚餐桌前收到父母異樣的眼神。
2. Mattresses
2.床墊
As they say, never skimp on what separates you from the ground—that includes tires, shoes, and mattresses—especially mattresses. A great mattress can and probably will cost you well into the thousands, but they’ll last longer and you’ll know where that money went when you wake up after an unfettered night’s sleep.
人們說(shuō),永遠(yuǎn)別在將你和大地分開(kāi)的東西上省錢(qián)——這包括輪胎,鞋子和床墊——尤其是床墊。優(yōu)質(zhì)的床墊可以可能花你數(shù)千塊,但可以用更久。而且當(dāng)你從一晚無(wú)憂(yōu)無(wú)慮的睡眠中醒來(lái)時(shí),你就知道自己的錢(qián)去哪兒了。
Long-term cost if you go with the “bargain” option:
如果圖了便宜,未來(lái)要付出的代價(jià):
Countless nights of restless sleep, grouchiness (due to restless sleep), and back pain like you couldn’t believe. Poor sleeping habits are actually incredibly bad for your health.
無(wú)數(shù)焦躁不安的夜晚,牢騷滿(mǎn)腹(因?yàn)樗缓?,還有你難以置信的背痛。不好的睡眠習(xí)慣其實(shí)對(duì)健康特別不好。
3. Toilet Paper
3.廁紙
Have you ever had to make an emergency pit stop at a gas station to use the bathroom? How about a bathroom at a fast food restaurant? School restroom? What do these places have in common? Coarse, one-ply toilet paper with the grit of an ultra-fine sandpaper. Life’s too short–spend the extra 25 cents per roll on the three-ply cushy stuff.
你是否曾緊急停車(chē)在加油站去上廁所?快餐店的衛(wèi)生間怎么樣呢?學(xué)校的廁所呢?這些地方的共同點(diǎn)是什么呢?粗糙的單層廁紙,還有超細(xì)砂紙上的顆粒。人生很短——每卷多花25美分去買(mǎi)用起來(lái)很舒服的三層廁紙。
Long-term cost if you go with the “bargain” option:
如果圖了便宜,未來(lái)要付出的代價(jià):
A rash with the scorching intensity of a thousand burning suns.
皮疹,還有一千個(gè)烈日般的強(qiáng)度炙傷。
4. Cuts of Meat
4.切塊的肉
Having people over for dinner? Get thee to a butcher. Save the cube steak for Monday night and serve your guests a cut that’s good enough to hide any culinary errors you might make. Ask the butcher a bunch of questions—he’ll suggest the perfect cut to match your occasion and grilling ability.
請(qǐng)了人來(lái)吃晚餐?去屠夫那兒吧。把切成方塊的牛排留到周一晚吧,給客人奉上一塊刀工好到可以隱藏你可能的烹飪失誤的牛排吧。向屠夫提一堆問(wèn)題——他會(huì)給你完美的切法,來(lái)匹配你的場(chǎng)合和烤肉技術(shù)。
