Dual Sense Edger and Blower
As I age, I realize I always end up preferring high quality but low-key stuff over luxury items.
I used to drive a RAV4 Hybrid, which I sold a few years ago and since have been driving a "luxury" car. Although I love my current car, sometimes I really miss my RAV4. How discrete it was, how well it blended, how little gas it required, how comfy it was. Sometimes I just get in my car and think "this is beautiful, but it's a bit much". Too pretty, too fancy, draws too much attention, just too much. The single fact of getting it dirty makes me uncomfortable. I don't regret this purchase because it has given me perspective, but I don't think I will be buying another luxury vehicle again in the future.
I have the same feeling towards any type of item really, like clothes, etc. I rather wear my G-Shock over a Rolex. Much higher peace of mind, and it might actually be more accurate, LOL. Of course I appreciate the craftsmanship of the Rolex, but that's pretty much it, an appreciation, not a desire to own it or wear it.
Recently I had to furnish my kitchen from the ground up. I hired the best in the business, but chose very simple (although high quality) designs and materials. The kitchen ended up beautiful.
Even with videogames, even though I could purchase an ultra high PC, I still see myself preferring to game on console. Maybe some games which perform better on PC I would play them there, but I ultimately don't care about having the best visuals when I'm more comfortable with consoles. And the games still look and play great. At the end of the day, the "best" experience for you might not necessarily be the most expensive.
