He suggests doing your research before you buy big ticket items especially and make sure you're getting a quality product — it's definitely worth the extra money as you won’t have to replace the item anytime soon. This isn't to say that you can't buy the cheapest of anything, Bakke adds, rather it's important to know when it's okay to do so.
他建議,特別是在購買大額物品之前要先做好研究,并確保自己買的是一件優質產品──多花的錢絕對值得,因為你不需要很快就替換。巴克說,這并不是說任何東西都不能購買最便宜的,而是說一定要知道什么時候可以買最便宜的。
"It's OK to shop the dollar store for office supplies, for example, but when you're talking about a flat screen TV or a laptop, it pays to invest in quality," he says. "You don't have to get the most expensive product on the market, just don't go with the cheapest."
他說:“比如說,去一元店購買辦公用品是沒問題的,但如果是要買一臺平板電視機或筆記本電腦,為高品質多花點錢是有好處的。你不一定要買市場上最貴的產品,只是不要去購買最便宜的。”
