Wait...are you saying this is bad advice, or are you refuting other bad advice?
Sorry, was just saying that you shouldn't try to be super frugal with things that you use for income. Like if you get a deal on some tools, cool. But the value proposition changes a lot when it comes to tools used for work. $1,000 gaming monitor? Pass. $1,000 monitor with a built in KVM and a single cable solution that will charge my work laptop? Hell yeah.
This entirely depends on what the net positive is. If you get a 10x tool that gets the job done faster, but you use it once a year... Still not worth it
