Never be a forced buyer. Never be a forced seller.
Price is supply and demand. If you must buy something, no
matter what the price, that is dangerous. That is no longer a consensual
exchange. Consider walking away if a sliver of that possibility exists. If you
can find a way to create breathing space. Detachment at that level can feel
impossible. You might, correctly, feel that it is your most important decision.
It is a difficult thing to sit with, but nothing is so important, that it is
more important than everything else. Certainly, nothing with a price.
The reason to build buffers, the ability to endure, and
practice detachment, is so that you do not get yourself into that corner. Poverty
puts people in a corner. Poverty is a form of scarcity that reduces the available
options, smothering empowered decision making.
