My mom used to always tell me that you get what you pay for.
What she meant by this was that it doesn’t always pay to be cheap, in fact it often does more harm than good to the individual.
Well, after spending my early twenties not following my mothers advice I have finally turned the corner and now pay a little more for services in order to stop the cycle of regret paying less for bad service. My most recent example of this would have to be when I had a problem pop up with my HVAC system and had to have an HVAC tech out here. One of the things that surprised me when the HVAC guy eventually came out to my house was the fact that they were able to come out on the same day. While it was true that the price for them to service HVAC systems was cheap, what wasn’t mentioned in the ad I saw from them is the fact that they do a poor job so you have to call them in a few days to come out and try and fix the problem yet again. It took me four visits before I realized that this shady HVAC company was playing with me to get my money. If I would have simply gone with a more reputable HVAC company I would have actually saved so much money and not have this headache to deal with from all of the stress. This was a tough pill to swallow but trust me, I will no longer cut corners to save a few pennies ever again!
