Buy the cheap bike, the cheap tool, the cheap camera, the cheap computer. Use that tool and grind it into dust.
When you invest little money at first it allows you to see if you need that tool as much as you thought and also gives you the knowledge of what features and functions you will need when you are ready to invest some money into a better version of that tool.
It goes without saying that it’s a terrible waste to spend $1000 on a piece of tech it turns out you don’t need as much as you thought and also, because you didn’t quite understand it, you bought the wrong version for your needs.
Buy cheap and learn the product/category before you drop big bucks on the one that will be the best for you.
