These are ROA Andreas boots and I bought them three years ago for $450. I use them to clean my yard and to get through mud and dirt and occasionally when I hike. Theyâre good boots and they hold up well.
Iâm so anti âIâm going to treasure my quality goods,â like absolutely not. I donât spend $450 to let them sit in a glass case. I spend $450 because I want to be able to put them on and not worry about whether theyâre going to fall apart, if theyâll grip through mud, or if theyâll keep me dry. If theyâre built as well as they claim to be, theyâre going to be worn and put through every single task I can think of. Quality goods aren't for flexing, theyâre for peace of mind knowing that youâll get years of abuse out of the item. This isnât a âooooh look at how much $$$ I spent post!â â this is a âwhy did YOU spend all that money just to barely wear something???â â itâs so counter to being sustainable and content with less things that are better.
On the other end, my wife finally get her coach empire purse sheâs been longing after since seeing it on the runway. We went out with friends recently and they saw her grab baby wipes and pull ups out of it to change our toddler and one of the girls asked âyou put baby stuff in your nice bag?â â âŚif weâre spending money on a bag, you best believe itâll hold anything and everything we shove into it. A laptop, markers and coloring books, makeup, diapers, wallets and keys, and stray animal crackers.
USE YOUR STUFF. CELEBRATE THE THINGS YOU OWN BY USING THEM OFTEN & WELL. GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO BECOME A LEGACY ITEM â âTHATâS MOMâS BAG THAT SHEâS HAD FOR 30 YEARS.â THINK ABOUT HOW COOL YOUR KIDS CAN BE IF YOU PASS THINGS ON TO THEM!
