The regular brands ofcondoms supplied at dollar store (in California) go by the names of Trustex andFantasies. Do you really want to put your trust in a product that has the word“trust” in the brand name?一大堆给爸爸妈妈的惊喜。Long-term costif you go with the “bargain” option:
5.避孕套
5. Condoms
这个话题有些粗鲁，人们不喜欢谈论，但这是生活。一元店里常见的避孕套品牌有叫“信赖”和“幻想”的。你真的想相信一个品牌名里有“信赖”一词的产品么？
如果图了便宜，未来要付出的代价：

看上面的。你买过刀工精良的肉么？这需要好刀——他们其实可以让你的牛排更棒。而情况是这样：有很多种大厨级的刀卖，它们的功能各不相同。问问合格的厨师有什么符合你需要的推荐，或者看我们关于厨师青睐哪些刀的文章。

See above. Haveyou bought a choice cut of meat? It deserves a good knife—they can actuallyenhance your steak. Here’s the thing though: there are lots of chefs’ knivesout there and they all have different functions. Ask as legit chef forrecommendations that align with your needs or just our article on what kniveschefs prefer.
Long-term cost if you go with the “bargain” option:
你的牛排，或者更糟的是，你的手指。
Your steak or worse your finger.
7.剪个好发型
7. A Proper Haircut
是的，会长回来，但你是成人了。我不是提倡去让空军一号上给克林顿剪头发的那哥们剪200美金一次的发型，但是找到一个值得信赖的发型师，剪个可以陪衬你脸型的发型（还有那一眼看上去就会注意到的风格），会带来很大不同。
Yes it growsback but you’re an adult. I’m not advocating a $200 shearing by the guy whocut Clinton’s hair on Air Force One but finding a worthwhile hairstylist whocan give you a cut to compliment the shape of your face (as well as something that’s easyto style at a moment’s notice) makes all the difference in the world.

社交媒体上毁形象的囧照，可能会被起不好听的昵称。
8.衣服
8. Clothes
好衣服穿得久，便宜货只能穿一季。这是说，如果合情况，买便宜的东西没错。如果去H&M或者Old Navy逛一圈，你很可能会看到一些专为度假或者周末设计的奇装异服。买了吧；这些永远不会成为传家宝——它们不贵，你可以穿一季。然而优质的衣服更贵——贵很多，但你会永远留着它们。
Quality lasts the cheap stuff will last a season. That said there’s nothing wrong with thecheap stuff when it serves the situation. If you’ve taken a walk throughH&M or Old Navy you’ll probably find a few quirky seasonal items meant forvacations or weekends. Buy them; they’re never going to be family heirlooms—they’reinexpensive and you’ll get a season out of them. Quality clothes will cost morethough–a lot more but you’ll have them forever.

洗几次后，衣服变形，掉色，边缘开线。你最后只会落得买更多衣服——买得越多，越花钱。
After a fewwashes shapes become tweaked colors fade hems start to fringe. You’ll justend up buying more clothes—more clothes more money.
9.好酒
9. Wine and FineAlcohol

You’re a grown-upnow so right off the bat eliminate any liquor that also has a correspondingslushie flavor. Next pick your poison and buy a bottle of the good stuff.You’re saving money by mixing a drink at home and you’ll be able to tell thedifference when it goes down oh-so-smooth.
宿醉：高浓度的酒和烈酒取用高档配料和更好的蒸馏工艺。这意味着，进入你身体的东西里面所含的不纯物质更少。
