She buys most of the furniture and appliances once and uses it forever. However, in order to do this she buys it right the first time.
Buying it right doesn't always mean to buy the most expensive item listed but she calculates it by incrementing 10 years. Will this last more than 10 years? Will the value of it increase as it ages? Will the brand still be available in 10 years? She really does consider a lot of this into the purchase and till this day most of my parents furniture at their home is still the same ones since I was born. The fabric they replace it with new ones but the stucture itself is still the same. The applies the same way with her audio equipment
I admire this outlook. I try to approach things this way as well. Pay extra for quality such as my Dyson hoover, my Sony television or my DeWalt drill. They're all on the more expensive side of the scale, but are built to last and they have done exactly that.

Yea man ~ I am in total sync with you when it comes to buying stuff that is economically best case senario. I see so many of my friends or colleagues who keep buying cheap stuff he ends up buying it again and again. and when you add up those numbers he actually could have gotten the highend product in the first place.
