    Comfort VS Cheap

    thought this would be interesting!

    for years i've brought like $95 PC chair and normally don't last me to long with what i do in the chairs haha most of the time the chairs loose comfort and just become annoying.

    Today just brought a expensive one a Recaro GT office Chair in red, comfy as shit like sitting on a cloud. $499 Aus

    For a chair, I'd probably go for a cheaper model since I am sitting on my bed with my labtop most of the time. The one I currently have was about 70$ CAD. There were more expensive models which would definitely have been more comfortable but I didn't feel like it was that worth it tbh.

    Man, I think my chair was $25, and it was bought 8 years ago, in a resale of the local college's furniture, and it is originally a dining table chair. IDK, I never spend much on such stuff. Anyways, it fits fine for me, as in heightwise, compared to the desk that I have, which was also $15 on a thrift shop. IDK, it fits just fine...

    Best thing you can remember is to spend your money where you spend your time. If you spend a lot of time behind a computer, you owe your ass a comfortable chair. You will never feel like it's wasted if it's something you use constantly.

    I've had the same desk chair foreverrrr. I do my school work at my desk and I don't want to be doing schoolwork any longer than I have to so im okay with it not being the most comfortable chair in the world. My bed is basically a cloud though.
    What's my definition of success?
    Creating something no one else can
    Being brave enough to dream big
    Grindin' when you're told to just quit
    Giving more when you got nothin' left

    Yeah I spend more money on what I know I will use. Couch, chairs, mattress. I like to cook so I bought a nice set of knives. Next purchase is a quality set of pots and pans but I need to save more so cheap stuff will have to keep doing it for now.

    I got my current desk chair by hanging around the student flats on move-out day. So much stuff was just left out on the street/by the bins by rich students finishing university. It's pretty nice, actually. I got a lot of stuff that day that was practically new, including a bunch of textbooks that I sold when the new freshers came and started.

    So, free is better than anything else for me because I'm dirt poor!
