fresh one

When they offhand say just to replace something variably super pricy with the spare you keep or have the butler fetch you a new one

Or like Peter did on Family Guy when he messes up writing his contact on a gun, balls it up like its made of paper and trashes it asking for a fresh handgun to do it correctly

    As I’ve started growing my wealth I’m able to buy quality things that last, and it’s led to the bizarre feeling that on black friday, I don’t need any of the door buster deals. You’ve probably heard of the Vimes boot theory of wealth, and I’ve seen it play out over time. I even re-sole good boots now.

      I’d say it’s more of a HENRY thing (high earning, not rich yet), but I very much agree.

      On the other side, I can’t name any rich person mannerism I’d call remotely positive. Maybe some Old Money humbleness, but that’s also pretty rare.

      Not even wealthy but I do and feel the same way and it blows my mind how much use you get out of stuff when you buy quality stuff (whenever possible or able) and don’t throw it when you’re angry at life lol

        For perspective of others, I will spend $200 on quality shoes, $100 on a good belt, $400 on a kitchen appliance. I tend to shop a bit, both for quality and then price. It helps that the kids are older and don’t break as much any more.
