Eugene notes:

My point is if you don't start with the cheap stuff then you don't need to
upgrade as soon.

And my point is often that if some people can't start with low end stuff, then
they'll NEVER be able to afford to start. The yuppie viewpoint is great, but
not everyone can afford to pay for it.

philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for
selfishness." John Kenneth Galbraith
