What if this? What if that? Blah blah blah. When I find myself fretting over something, I ask myself “So if the Bad Thing happens, what would it cost to fix?” Usually, just not a big deal in financial terms. All sorts of problems just evaporate if you hand someone a wad of cash.
If it’s Cheap, Just Buy It
Don’t fuss and fret over a few dollars. Buy it and move on. Even if you’re not fussing or fretting, if you’ve come back to a purchase multiple times, you obviously want it.
Especially if it’s completely silly.
There are all sorts of inane, childish things we want. When a kid, me and my friends played trumps with Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader cards. This made the game more interesting, as the point was to collect the most attractive Cheerleaders. (Sexist, horrible, blah blah blah). I thought about that one day, and tried to dredge up the Cheerleaders in my mind, and didn’t do to well. $15 and a few clicks at Ebay, and shazam!, I got the cards in the mail a week later and was reminiscing on the old days. Completely silly, but worth the $15.
This is advice for cheapos like me.
