Quality power tools have always been worth the extra money for me, such as Dewalt or Milwaukee. These tools can withstand being dropped, overheat abuse and getting wet. A cheap black and decker can barely do the job. I couldn't justify the price till I actually owned one and then my mindset changed about buying higher quality items.
@BeatTheBush7 жыл бұрын
Luckily I didn't even bother trying the lower quality ones. However Dewalt's Nicd batteries do not exactly last that long, perhaps getting a Li-ion type would have longer life for short intermittent usage.

Sometimes buying an off brand item will last longer and is more durable ham a name brand item. The off brand item will be a company trying to make a name for themselves, so they're building good stuff, when a name brand item is already making huge profits and have to keep up with demand so they're just throwing together items quickly without quality control

One thing that really caught me by surprise is that when I started displacing purchases from my debit card to my new credit cards, I realized I wasn't meeting the minimum number of monthly debit transactions to be eligible for dividend rewards! Instead, I was only getting the base level of interest, which is like a fraction of 1%. So by using credit cards to earn rewards, I was actually LOSING rewards in the sum of $3-5 or more per month. BAH! So, the next time I go grocery shopping, I will go to self-checkout and be the annoying guy making 10 small purchases on his debit card.
@BeatTheBush7 жыл бұрын
You have to weigh the benefits of each. $20k with 1% interest is $200 minus taxes so lets call it $150. Credit card points are not taxed. So If you spend $1000/month at 5% = $600/year. You can indeed try to generate debit purchases but I find that this takes too much mental capacity as compared to what you get for the effort.

You're right. It is annoying and time consuming. But there has to be a way to automate this in a way that yields both benefits. Maybe I could set up automated transactions that post directly to my PayPal account or something.

Hi, just found your channel, watched most of the videos. I have learned so much, thank you. What to ask about is, boa cash reward card, automatic payment. In previous videos you mentioned there is no automatic payment-about 2 years ago. My banker mentioned there is minimum and maximum auto pay options, which i am not sure how they work nor how to arrange that. Am new to this and it is my first credit card. Is there any suggestion you can give me?
@BeatTheBush7 жыл бұрын
You are very welcome! I'm glad you found it! For BofA Cash Rewards card, BofA since then added the auto pay feature and now you can do it like the other cards. I suggest to set it up to pay the statement balance in full a day or two before the due date. BofA though it's a bit annoying in that you have to wait until the first statement before you can even schedule the automatic payment. So set it up after you get your statement. You have to be EXTRA careful with BofA cards because they auto-pay is pretty screwy until you are confirmed that it is setup correctly. I would check the first 3 months a few days before the due date to make sure the auto-pay is setup correctly.
@brianyun2497 жыл бұрын
BeatTheBush Yep BofA pay in general is very screwy. On one occasion, I paid some of the balance on the date of the new balance period and they considered it as a payment towards the previous statement period because they had not finished making the statement documents. Then they made me do another minimum payment for the new cycle. It was quite funny. I argued that the payment was made ON THE FIRST DATE of the new cycle and they would not budge in their ridiculous statement. Just wait for a few days after the new cycle or few days before the due date to make the payment. I would not risk the payment screwups with these guys!

Whatever hobby you take part in you'll use various kinds of products, generally there is a bigger brand or industry leading name, they're usually industry leaders because they make some of the best products (plus marketing, legacy, market share etc.) if it's something you're going to use a lot and get pleasure from by doing your hobby it's probably a wise choice to buy the better brand. However - Do you need their latest release? Can you buy the item used?

I've had an iPhone 6 and a MacBook Pro for over a year now and they still work great. It is true that they are more expensive than a PC or a Samsung counterpart, but they also last longer due to better quality assurance on factories and better materials overall (aluminum instead of plastics, lighter/thinner body instead of heavy/bulky, etc). Also, since it's almost a designer brand, the value for the products doesn't depreciate as fast as the competitors. Since I work on IT and I'm pretty much on the computer or the phone all day, I considered that it was necessary to go and get premium quality items, although if are you just buying it for the "show off value", then it's not worth it since you won't be able to juice all the value out them. I agree that many times it depends a lot more on the usage you'll give to those particular products above of the monetary / social value of the products itself.

The resale value is a great point and Macs keeps their value very well. Although, I argue the quality issue as I never had a computer break on me spontaneously after the warranty period. Usually, they just go out of date from being too slow. It's a slightly different scene now because computers have gotten fast enough that you might be able to use it for normal applications for many more years than before. Then there's the OS and if you like to work in one vs another.

Yeah. Sometimes it is hard to justify a move to PC if you are a Mac person due to the stickiness of the ecosystem as well. It presents a huge hurdle to switch. But ignoring the ecosystem part. Would a PC last just as long, maybe. It certainly will not hold it's value. How about utility? Can you do things just as fast in both ecosystems? Maybe, maybe not. Socially though, owning a mac does include a little bit more of a status symbol which is hard to ignore.

As long as you use it and take care of it so it lasts a really long time for you.

I think ninjas are not that powerful. You might want to compare to the 3hp blenders out there to the oster.

Zara boots.
@BeatTheBush7 жыл бұрын
Huh, I never had any of those but have some older Zara clothing. It seems like the products are not as good as of the last few years though.
@stefanblaginov30187 жыл бұрын
BeatTheBush You're right, it's kind of hit and miss with Zara products. A puffer jacket I purchased recently was so bad quality-wise that it had to be refunded within less of a month. A pair of 2013 boots, however, lasted me two and a half years, being worn 70% of the time in all kinds of weather conditions.

The Minimalist movement helps here! Strive to live simply, without crap and clutter.
@BeatTheBush7 жыл бұрын
Agreed. Not extreme minimalism but rather the general idea helps indeed even if you do not end up living in a super neat a clean place.
