I have a hard time grasping money. I get the basics of it, but how do you actually analyse the relative value of something and determine if it’s worthy?
My brother uses a model, which I will call subscription pov model. Basically, when you are looking for a new object to buy for day to day use, look at its worth as if you were paying a subscription.
For example, a MacBook, which I use daily, can last me around 10 years. I bought it for around 1k euros. Then
Which for me is a great deal, especially for the service and comfort that it provides.
This model sets itself apart when choosing between competing brands.
My standards for a laptop are quite flexible, and can be lowered. For example for some Intel HP laptop, the experience will be alright and let’s say it’ll cost 500 euros, but last me around 2 years. At the moment of purchase, I would spend less money, but in the grand scheme of things it’ll cost me
Much more than the MacBook!! And the experience is lower.
In that sense, having a Netflix subscription or any other for that matter is insanely expensive.
