Summary

This quote is suggesting that junk, or low-quality products, are the ideal products from a sales perspective. The quote implies that there is no need for persuasive sales tactics as the desire to purchase these items is so strong that customers would go to great lengths, even crawl through a sewer, just to acquire them. This reflects the power of consumerism and the willingness of individuals to overlook quality or value in favor of simply owning something.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that all the challenges in their lives would dissipate if they just had enough money. Nothing could be further from the truth. Earning more money, in and of itself, rarely frees people. It's equally ridiculous to tell yourself that greater financial freedom and mastery of your finances would not offer your greater opportunities to expand, share, and create value for yourself and others.
