"必要は良い取引を生まない"
— Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:
When you need something urgently, you often have to accept a bad deal because you don't have time to shop around for better options. Imagine you run out of gas in the middle of nowhere. You need fuel right away, so you buy it at a very high price from a nearby, expensive station. If you weren't desperate, you could find a better price. This idea teaches us to plan ahead and be prepared so we aren't forced into situations where we have no choice but to take bad deals. It’s a reminder to keep some savings, have backup plans, and avoid making decisions only when we're in a tight spot.
