Is paying more for something you’ll use for years another kind of frugality?
I’ve been looking at robot vacuums lately and the price range is kind of wild. The basic ones seem fine for everyday cleaning, while spending more gets you things like better obstacle avoidance, cleaning under lower furniture and a dock that does more on its own.
The layout of my place isn’t complicated, so I’m not even sure I need most of it. But I keep thinking about the stuff I’d have to do myself over the next few years. Picking things up before it runs, going back over missed spots, cleaning out the robot afterward, etc.
I don’t mind paying more for something I’ll use for years when it saves me work every week. I just can’t tell whether I’m being practical or talking myself into a more expensive vacuum lol. Where do you guys usually draw the line on stuff like this? #finance source
