BUY THE “NICE” ONE, NOT THE CHEAP ONE

(June, 2023) Reddit asked, “What’s something that’s absolutely worth spending the extra money to get the ‘nice’ version of?” Some of the responses:
– “Men’s underwear.”
– “Office chairs. I spent $90 on a chair, it felt horrible and I could never get comfortable. I bought another one for about $340, feels like a dream.”
– “Mattress. You spend a third of your life there. I’m not well-off, but finally putting an extra few hundred towards getting a good mattress changed my life. Better sleep, more energy, best investment ever. Pillow was second.”
– “You don’t realize how much a nice quality fluffy towel grabs hold of you much better while drying than a lower quality towel.”
– “Perfume. Cheap perfume smells cheap.”
– “In flying, going from economy to business is the biggest change. Going from business to first class is a far more diminishing return.”
– “Mayonnaise.”
– “Weed.”
– “Shower curtains. Where else in life can you emerge naked flanked by a majestic dragon.”
– “Cereal.” (* We would disagree. There’s nothing like a bowl of Cocoa Puffs or Trix in the morning.)
– “Tattoos.”
* And no, I’m not going to add “Hookers.”
* If you work from home, can you claim your $340 office chair as a business expense?
* How about the bed, if you lay on the bed working on your laptop?
* One of the commenters gave this good advice: “Spend money where you spend time.” That’s why I own a $20,000 sofa.
