minimalism
About us
An open, user owned community dedicated to the philosophy of minimalism and the minimalist way of life. All types of posts are allowed, as long as they are relevant to the topic of minimalism.
Rules
1. Be honest with yourself and others.
The goal is to develop yourself personally and as a community. Seriously, if you’re not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you’re not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn’t it?
2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions.
Your freedom ends where somebody else's begins. Remember that there are people that may see things differently than you.
3. Keep it theme-oriented, up to date and relevant.
In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning.
4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.
This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands minimalism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report

I consider the price of the cheaper thing the price of trying it out.
If it's expensive enough that I would be upset with myself for not going the quality/trusted brand (e.g. $450 for cheapo vs. $550 for quality) then it's not worth spending $1000 to end up just using the $550 part. If it was $450 vs. $1550 then trying out the cheaper one is less of an issue.
E* But don't feel bad if you do end up with the cheap thing not working, it's part of the learning process. If you somehow break both the cheap and expensive part then that feels bad, and you have to fix your process first :P

And your point makes 100% sense. Thanks for the tips!
