    I’ve heard this too and it’s true, but also you don’t want to needlessly spend on things either. For example, a good bed is worth the cost, the saying holds up. However, if you buy the pro version of every tool you’ll go broke. You can instead buy the cheap one first, anything you use enough where it would break is then worth buying the expensive one

      Someone told me 25 years ago to buy a cheap set of tools, and then buy a good version of the ones that break. Many you’ll never use enough to break or at all. But that fn 10mm socket, it’s going to break and need a good one no matter what

      What I’ve heard (fairly recently) is do not skimp on anything that goes between you and the ground: bed, shoes, office chair. I’d add carpet to that because my feet hurt standing on hardwood/vinyl/thin carpet and I often have to wear shoes indoors.
