Worthy buying and little loss

We are humans and humans are known as social beings. We need to depend on each other for various kinds of reasons. In the past humans used to exchange products between them to fulfill their needs and in this process, both parties benefited. I am giving a short example for better understanding.

Suppose one person cultivated his land and he arranged the food but he didn't have any wood to cook the food. On the other hand, another person planted trees and he had the wood but he didn't have any food to cook. In that kind of situation, nobody could survive. So both of them exchanged some wood and food which is also known as trade. Doing that both of them are able to cook food and survive. It was just an example. Time has changed and in the current time, we exchange most of the things against money because it's the most common and easy way to trade. The taker is known as a buyer and the giver is known as a seller. For various purposes, we need to buy something and it's a very natural thing. In fact, we can't avoid the processing because within the process it will be nearly impossible to survive. In terms of buying sometimes we felt a product was more worthy than the price and sometimes we felt the product was not so worthy against the price we gave. And I believe all of us encounter those kinds of situations. Today I am going to share both kinds of experiences of mine. And I am starting with the good one.

After getting admission to university I was thinking of buying a laptop for me. It was not a need for me but it could help me to make many things easier and that was the reason I thought to buy a laptop. Unfortunately, I was thinking of buying again and again and in this process, I crossed approximately 3 years 😅. After crossing 3 years one of my best friends built a desktop PC. I started to wonder why he bought a desktop rather than buying a laptop. So I started analysis on it and I realized that the desktop is the best choice in every perspective except the portability. So my opinion changed and I built almost similar kind of desktop PC within a few months. I tried to install all the best components in my PC according to my capability and to build the desktop PC I cost almost 500$. I have been using the desktop for more than 3 years now and till now I didn't face any significant issues. So from the perspective of performance, my desktop PC is quite good and worthy enough to buy. Again another interesting news is the price of almost all PC components nearly doubled within 4 months because of a new budget passed by the parliament and taxes increased a lot. So I was lucky to build my desktop PC in a good time otherwise I would have needed to bear almost double expenses for the same desktop PC. At the current time, my desktop PC price must be more than 1000$. So considering everything buying the desktop PC in the exact time makes the buying more worthy and it's one of the best buying of my life till now.

Let's talk about the worst one. I think this one is going to shock you a little bit but stay tuned to know the details and the reason behind it. My worst buy was a single book. I am a book lover and I love to read books and if that was a storybook or literature book I would finished long ago. It is a textual book and I bought it at the beginning days of my university. I saw that every classmate was buying the book and so I also bought the book with them. The book cost me approximately 2.5$. I am not saying that the actual book was not so informative but I just read the first page of it. In fact, I read the page because I bought the book using cash otherwise I would not read the first page also. The reason behind this was most of the needed information I collected from Google and the slides from my teachers or the other books from the library. If I read the book now then it's useless because I already gained most of the knowledge related to the book in the last 6 years. Reading the book at the current time means nothing more than wasting my time and I won't do this anytime. So all of the money I used for the book is a waste of my money. And sometimes I feel regret why I bought the book. But now I am thinking of it as a memory 😅.
