Cartier Vs Casio (Why Price Isn’t Everything)

Own something expensive and then bully everyone who can’t afford it into buying your $997 course.

This is a classic strategy, employed by countless fake gurus.

Today’s article takes a different approach.

I want to realistically explain why “more expensive” doesn’t always mean “better.” And I’ll spare you The Millionaire Next Door schtick about Warren Buffett driving an old car or rich people never buying a pair of shoes that costs more than $20.

Instead, I want to compare my two daily wear watches:

• A vintage Cartier Pasha (selling for about $1,200 on eBay)
• A Casio Forester (which retails on Amazon for $19 — $26)

It’s hard to capture these details on camera.
