    It’s better to save up and buy good quality versions of the things that you need.

    • buying cheap and questionable products on Amazon = bad
    • buying cheap and questionable products on Temu = bad

    Sometimes it’s inevitable for someone who absolutely needs an item and doesn’t have any alternatives in their price range, but that’s not the case for a lot of people who buy these things.

    A lot of online marketplaces can carry low quality products, with questionable materials and supply chains. What I don’t like is how some marketplaces make their whole brand around filling your home with cheap low quality stuff

    Shop like a billionaire

    There might also be an exception for buying parts and components. I don’t know enough about that area
