High Maintenance
Tweet |
You probably thought about a person (or two?) when you first saw the title. Did somebody you know pop into your mind? (Just maybe?)
I've written about high maintenance as it has to do with people in a previous post entitled: "Bloodsuckers" (read here). This time I'm writing about high maintenance, but from a different angle ~ as it has to do with the purchases we make.
I'm not always a high maintenance person. I'm not always "maintenance conscious" when I buy. What I mean by "maintenance conscious" is that I usually don't think about the maintenance requirements when I purchase an item and the add ons that are needed that you just can't do without. (If you buy X product, you gotta have such and such this and such and such that, too.)
It's especially true with the big ticket items (e.g. a boat, a car, a house).
Many (most?) people only think about the upfront cost. Right? All the other stuff migrates to the back of your brain. "I want 4,000 square feet on 10 acres." But do you know what it takes to clean 4,000 square feet and maintain 10 acres? "Wait a minute. How about 1,500 square feet on a half an acre instead. That's more manageable." This conversation could be had over just about anything.
Is it high maintenance ~ in terms of finances, time, accessories? And are you ready to take that on?
High maintenance people go in with their eyes open.
High maintenance people count the cost.
