I'm all for this type of thinking, but like the others point out, you still need to keep yourself in check and put active effort into figuring out when it makes sense. 'Spartan' isn't the only relevant quality. The Hobart mixer is cool, but might it consume too much energy, or is it too heavy to move around when needed? The beakers are sweet, but am I yet wealthy enough to pretend money isn't real? https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2017/12/02/more-dakka/ https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2017/12/02/more-dakka/ All things considered, I would love to see more people put together their own lists of ways you can do better than the consumer default. I'm sure there's plenty of opportunities of this kind.

For skiing, if you want to do it for life, always buy decent boots and ask pros where they get them fitted. Most people ski in boots a size or two too big or with poor cuff alignment (even people at a high level). It is much harder to improve and enjoy your time on snow with these things not addressed. The consumer approach would dismiss getting a professional fitting as overkill and unnecessary but they really limit their enjoyment.
