Can’t afford to buy cheap

I just read this post

Can’t afford to buy cheap and it really struck a chord with me.

I really liked this opinion but as always I read it with my own interpretation, for which I would add the following caveats.

• For cheap read ‘poor quality’ and for expensive read ‘good quality’
• Do not assume that expensive means good quality.
• I would also add the caveat ‘where you can’, pick strategically, as one commentator said ‘Buy the best you can afford’and in ceratin situations that maywell be the cheapest, in some situations it may be not buying anything! (now that’s sometimes very difficult to do!)
• In software there may well be a free alternative! (in some cases though the same holds true, no-one advertises a design job asking for a GIMP specialist!)
