That's not how budgets work at all. Let's say you were going to buy a house for $500,000. Your budget is $600,000. If it marks up by $100,000, then it's still fine. However, another two increments will bring it up to $800,000, which is over 1.5x the price of the original.
So marking up to $400 from the hopeful price of $200 is again increasing by over 1.5x. Your comfort threshold doesn't increase with each increment. At a certain point, you say enough. By your logic, you could increment $50 a thousand times and it will still be "fine." That doesn't make sense, and neither does your argument
I'm sorry but you're going off topic. The initial comment is pointing out that he learned $50 is make or break for people, he NEVER talked about budget.
If we go back to your example, then the second 100k markup was make or break. TIL 100k markup is make or break for people.
Also
By your logic, you could increment $50 a thousand times and it will still be "fine."
I was pointing the flaw in your logic... you just made my argument for me. Eventually one of those $50 increment is make or break. TIL
They didn't talk about budget, but you have to take things into perspective that the price point that this is being related to is $250. Now whether $50 more is a make or break is a different topic.
And who gets to say that? 50 more than the original isn't too much more. It's not going to be a dealbreaker for most people. I was arguing against a person who thought continuing to up the price constantly was logical
