Everything Must Be Paid for Twice

One financial lesson they should teach in school is that most of the things we buy have to be paid for twice. There’s the first price, usually paid in dollars, just to gain possession of the desired thing, whatever it is: a book, a budgeting app, a unicycle, a bundle of kale. But then, in order to make use of the thing, you must also pay a second price. This is the effort and initiative required to gain its benefits, and it can be much higher than the first price.

My Steam library says hello..

I don't know if this is to mean you only paid for your games once, or if you're like me and have a ton of older games you bought again to have on Steam because they don't even have CD-Keys to be added manually from an original purchase (like Doom 1995).
