The (kinda shitty) guitar I bought went on sale for half price today 🥲🥲🥲 and I could've bought a better guitar plus sourced an amp from marketplace if I had just waited a couple of months. Hindsight, hey.
I try not to pay any attention to these things. If you do, you'll forever be in buyer's remorse, or forever waiting for that thing you really really want
Absolutely 🙂
this is not how to think
your time , in this the months where you were inspired to learn and play and achieve , are more valuable than waiting for cheaper prices
waiting when you might have lost motivation , motivation and inspiration are precious things and very easily lost
you did the right thing , some things can't be deferred
That's very true, thanks for your perspective.
It's just a fun bout of loss aversion!
We've all had that moment where stuff gets a deep discount not too soon after we've bought it. Everyone else who was also debating making that same purchase but didn't is now thanking you for being the one to make the sacrifice and pay full price to enable the discount to happen 🫡
But you wouldn't have made the progress you have by buying it earlier :)
I haven't really made much progress hahaha
