What Things Are Worth Spending Extra For?
Cash Flow ManagementIn my daily reading, I came across an article listing items where paying extra for quality makes good sense. Then… I lost the article.
When I searched the internet for the list, I found over 20 articles on the subject. Some articles were from lesser known sites, like ranker.com, buzzfeed.com, awealthofcommonsense.com, and financialsamurai.com. I also found comparable articles on CNBC, Esquire, Business Insider, and Time. (To see a list of articles click here.)
Do these articles agree on what’s worth splurging for? Actually, yes! I was surprised that the lists agreed where spending more makes good sense.
Items on more than one list:
- Automobile tires
- Electric toothbrush
- Amazon Prime
- A nice suit
- Coffee maker
- Direct flights
- Ergonomic desk chair
- Luggage
- Bra
- Vacations
- Digital camera (SLR)
- Running shoes
- Haircare products
There were items on most lists:
- Great kitchen knife
- Toilet paper
- Hair coloring/cut
- Organic produce
The big winners where the two items were on almost all lists:
- Bed sheets
- Quality mattress
These “consensus picks” make good sense (although I cannot directly vouch for good running shoes or bras). Given the amount of our lives spent in bed, I agree that spending more on bedding and mattresses is a great investment.
