You know what I always spend the extra money on for good quality?
PILLOWS!
I can’t stand cheap pillows. They absolutely drive me insane.
And right now we’re gonna take a look at what other folks don’t mind spending money on.
Let’s have a look at the responses!
1. Get comfy.
“Quality bed sheets.
In college, I slept on some of the cheapest, ugliest sheets for years. They were awful. And as soon as I got a place of my own, I still gladly paid a little extra for better sheets.
Even though I was mostly broke at the time, there are just some things you can’t put a price on.”
2. You know it!
“The good super thick towels- once you try them, you won’t want to go back.
Completely dry with just a quick once over, without scrubbing all over trying to get dry. Bonus points if it’s wide enough that you cover yourself easily.
So much better than drying off with some cheap thing that hardly absorbs the water.”
3. Good one.
“Better headphones/headsets, eye-saver monitors, better chairs, peripherals and blue-light blocking glasses.
Improve everything you interact with.”
4. Take care of your feet.
“Good shoes.
My entire youth was plagued with money deficiencies that ended up with me having crap shoes due to my ignorance, and feet with calluses. I didn’t realise my feet were a little wider than usual and some shoes really weren’t good for me.
I now look back at the last 12 years and realised that since I got to know my needs better, and chose to buy better quality shoes (quality VS quantity), I have literally ended up shoes that are over 12 years old sitting besides shoes that are 2 years old.
Good shoes last a long bloody time. Your tastes might change over time, so makes sure to give ‘em a good polish before deciding to give the old ones away.”
5. Listen to this!
“Speakers.
There’s nothing like hearing every intricate detail of a record on a good system.”
6. Look sharp.
“When I get a good haircut I feel good about myself for months after.
A terrible haircut can ding my confidence.
I get a really nice haircut every three to four months and it’s so worth it.”
7. Gotta have it.
“A house cleaner. My partner and I are not rich by any means, but I ALWAYS budget for our house cleaner to come once every 2 weeks.
While I can keep up with basic tidying, the house cleaner does the tasks that I used to spend hours on the weekend doing (washing floors, the tub etc).
Having that time back is 100% worth the cost to me.”
8. Safer, too.
“Tires. I’ve had my fair share of almost bald cheap Walmart tires.
Trust me when I say a good set of tires is worth every penny.”
9. Tool time.
“Good tools are so underrated.
I bought cheap precision screwdrivers only to realize that they basically become useless after just a month.
Never buying cheap tools again.”
10. Definitely worth it.
“Bicycle parts.
Good quality stuff works so much better and lasts so much longer.”
11. Great point.
“Food banks.
Whatever you give is worth far more to the people who receive it. You are feeding people and often their kids too.”
12. See the world.
“Travel.
I have never regretted spending relatively large amounts of money on international travel.
Experiences become priceless memories and give you a better understand of the world.”
13. Get to the sweating!
“Gym membership at expensive, boutique type gym.
Its the only place that has made me actually work out consistently for over 2 years. Its changed my life, made me super healthy and happy and strong.
I would pay twice what I currently pay if I had to (and I’m lucky to be able to afford it).”
