Just the essentials or all the bells and whistles?
#20
RE: Just the essentials or all the bells and whistles?
All over the shop like Boru.
Cheap on some things, splurge on others...

Tools, I've broken too many "Dewalt" to care any more... I buy cheapo for a third of the price and replace them as needed.

As an example. We bought the first widescreen hd projector (Sony VPL-VW10HT). for 10k. In the 19 years we had it, all our friends and relos had gone through 3-5 lcd tv's (bigger, higher res, etc) and bought 3 new cars. Add all the money lost in depreciation on the vehicles and the cost of the 3-5 big tv's and tell me if our projector was that much of a waste of money. Also we enjoyed the hell out of it for 19 years. Horses for courses.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
