Quality vs. Quantity

I've realized that I'm a quality over quantity kind of guy. I was reminded of this as I got dressed this morning and was looking for my sandals. I've always preferred to have one of a great thing rather than several of a good thing. Case in point, I love Rainbow sandals. I was introduced to them by Lee and Shua. This past March, I got a pair for my birthday. Sure, they're a $40 pair of sandals. But I put them on in March, and, aside for a two weddings and when I go running, they haven't left my feet. These are the best shoes ever. I'll take you a step further, I even wear them on the cardio machines at the gym (elliptical trainer... where you don't have to pick your feet up off the machine).

Yes, for me, I'd rather save and buy quality. Then wear it every day. The exact same thing. Perhaps I have a bit of an addictive personality, or is it that I just like the comfortable (both physcial comfort and emotional comfort of the familiar). I'd wear the same grey T-shirt I bought in Columbia 3 years ago if Meg didn't gracefully suggest that maybe I need to (1) branch out and (2) wash that shirt every so often.

Anyway...

What are you, quality or quantity?
