agree  Carol Gullidge: I'd change the first part slightly to something like "...not what you can easily afford" or "not what you wouldn't miss". And, personally, I'd leave the punctuation as it was, but failing that, feel that a colon would be preferable to that semi-colon

neutral  AllegroTrans: Right idea but "what each person values most" is a mis-translation imo
