This is also an important thing to keep in mind once you do find yourself in a position where you can afford the more expensive boots. With college and grad school totalling 11 years of my life, I've been wired to go as cheap as I can, because that's all I can afford. Now that I have a job, I know it makes more sense to buy the more expensive items, but even though I can pull that off, my brain is still wired to go cheap.
So true for just about everything. I was watching a documentary about unemployment last night, and in one scene one of the subjects went to the launderette - it must have cost her three or four times what it would cost me just to do a load of laundry.
