Gleb Shcherblyunich is not rich enough to buy cheap things. More precisely, he is not rich at all. does not have enough money even for a cup of steaming coffee from the machine on the floor below his office.
However, Gleb does not know how to
Say “go to hell, it’s too expensive for me”. Because of this, he constantly buys things for himself that even a much wealthier person would immediately feel cold green paws closing around his throat.
A leather jacket that costs two salaries?
I’m not rich enough to buy cheap stuff. And I don’t care that Gleb doesn’t understand sizes and styles, which is why he looks like a fence’s son in this jacket.
A laptop of the latest model for eighty tho usand rubles?
I’m not rich enough to buy cheap things. I’ll take out a loan at crazy interest rates, eat oatmeal with salt for two years and ride the metro without paying, but I’ll have a beautiful silver laptop gathering dust on my shelf.
The question arises, why shouldn’t Gleb be more modest and buy himself things that are a little worse, but ten times cheaper?
It’s simple. Gleb is too lazy to spend three hours comparing prices and specifications to calculate the pros and cons of a purchase. It’s easier for him to cavalry-style chop his hand and say, “I’ve decided, I’m buying.” In addition, despite his holey boots and glasses covered with duct tape, Gleb is embarrassed to tell the sellers that he’s a pauper.

Let’s take the kitchen for example.
You can go to a hardware russia telegram data store and buy the cheapest kitchen there, for about eight thousand rubles. For that money, Klava will get a few shabby cabinets made of laminated chipboard, albeit without any pretensions to design, but still able to store plates and pots inside.
You can go to the Swedes at european leads IKEA and choose something more decent, for about fifty thousand. The quality, of course, will not be great, but if you find a good assembler who will spend a few days on finishing the products of the thrifty Swedes, it will turn out quite nice.
You can visit one of our furniture factories and choose a custom kitchen from the catalog. It will cost about two hundred thousand, but Klava’s friends align shipping times to the target group will click their tongues approvingly at the sight of the lighting inside the cabinets and the sinusoidal cornice above the dust-collecting decorative shelves.
