<prompt> Human: So Im having a struggle between buying things that are decent vs cheap. For example, on Amazon I could buy a simplehuman trash can which costs 50 or a 20 regular plastic one. Another would be dish racks. I could spend 50 on a high rated one on Amazon, but also a 20 for a dollar store quality like. How can I determine which would be the better option? I dont want to buy something over and over again, whats the line for buying a higher quality item to save financially long term?  <response>: how much do you have to spend? dont put yourself in debt, and it being your first time moving out, buy basic and keep it simple. i mean a 50 dish rack? i have a multi six figure brokerage account and i wouldnt buy a 50 dish rack.
