I used to believe that I understood people; I was getting along with everyone pretty easy and, thus, boldly assumed that there is no problem of understanding in between me and others. I thought, that whatever it is, my knowledge of psychology and ability for empathy will allow me to understand. I was wrong.

What is expensive? Why do you consider something to be expensive or may be even too expensive? (I am not talking about Bugatti, a private jet or a duplex on the 5th Avenue here, just about simple stuff) Do you make a comparison with other alike products?

I am a big fan of small steps – those tiny things that you can always find a way to do and which combined softly get you where you want to be.
