Holy Moly Expensive

I recently bought several things

That I’ve wanted for years

The main reason I never decided to

Buy them is because they’re “pricey”

The way I see it:

When purchasing a watch

$100 = Inexpensive

$500 = Expensive

$1000 = Holy moly

$50,000 = Good mother of god!

The things I bought

Are in the "holy moly" category, and 

I’m still not quite sure how to feel about the price

I absolute adore having these beautiful items

But the price is still haunting me a bit

I was watching a show last night and

A lady said her favorite quote was

“Buy cheap, buy twice”

Which I don’t fully agree with

I think there’s a 50/50 chance

When purchasing cheap or expensive

The price of an item is not reflective

Of the cost of the item,

Which also means it doesn't reflect quality or durability

I’ve bought inexpensive items which have lasted me many years

and I’ve bought expensive items which have lasted one year

When purchasing expensive items

Durability and quality go out of the window

I think that

When a person decides to spend $2000 on a purse

They’re doing it because of the intrinsic value they receive

e.g.

Exclusivity, brand recognition, and lifestyle association

And I guess the real question is

"Is it worth to pay the high ticket price for these values?"

Honestly, I don't think so

However, I'm still not 100% sure
