Answer:
Always be careful about purchasing expensive items, is the item really a necessity for you or will you actually use this item often? Maybe your just buying it to stay "with it" socially. Make sure you do some research about available varieties and some research about cist and reliability of various brands. You should also consider the cost of running the item, since you don't want to be stuck with a "lemon". You never know, it may use a lot of electricity or gas, maybe then you'll have even more expense then the purchase price. These are just a few things to consider because buying an expensive item requires care.

The writer of "The Instinct that Makes People Rich" interprets the Midas myth as the story of a man who could not fail.
Chesterton, however, says that Midas DID fail. He starved because he could not eat gold.
Chesterton says that success always comes at the sacrifice of something else, something "domestic." (By this he means that, yes, a millionaire has money but will lack something else, like love or friendship, etc.) He says that people who think Midas succeeded are just like the author of the article -- both worship money.
Chesterton says that worshipping money has nothing to do with success and everything to do with snobbery.
