^ That's the single most underappreciated aspect of all this.
Something I've noticed being around self-made wealthy people, along with the better tradesmen and pros of different types I've spent time around, is they rarely screw around with trying to get the perfect deal, or figure it all out themselves if there are legit pros around to consult, or buy cheap $h*t that won't last. They don't screw around with iterations of half-assery. They ask great questions, they find out what excellent quality is, they move fast on a fair price, and they save themselves tremendous amounts of time, frustration, and repeated expenses. It's a success pattern.
They also generally don't over-buy or spend money on things that aren't appropriate for their application.
Nobody with a brain would buy a Toro Z7500 to mow their 3 acre property regardless of how good those machines are.
Buying a $3,000 rifle setup and $2,000 lrf binos to shoot 87 yards from a blind to a cut corn field is the same level of dumb.
