Is that expensive things can last longer?

I admit that I have the mentality that expensive things last longer, but I also have a lot of cheapie stuff that have been with me for years! I think it's more of how you use them and care for them. That's what I tell myself everytime I'm tempted to buy a branded item that costs a lot--I feel guilty dishing out so much money for one thing when I could buy a lot more using the same amount (or even less!). :) happy posting!
