It feels like there's a cultural undercurrent of always wanting more. Products are made cheaper than ever, so it can be incredibly easy to use something for only a few months before getting rid of it. Whenever we feel a "need" for something, we ask ourselves if we have anything else that can fill its place before purchasing. If we decide to buy something, we spend time researching items that will last us for the long haul, even if it takes us some time to save up for them.
