Thanks for the rec! I’m really kind of cheap in the sense that I don’t really “get” buying fancy things like nice cars and clothes. I’m a-ok with basic and dependable. And pretty much anytime I buy something frivolous I regret it about 24 hours later. But all these things are more expensive than the alternatives and totally worth it…
