I came across this article on Business Insider the other day.
I was searching for something totally unrelated.
But the headline was something like "6 things people who have a good relationship with money always splurge on"
And that totally grabbed my attention - like it’s grabbed yours I assume!
And frankly some of the things that were on it were pretty fascinating.
I've cut it down a bit for faster reading (plus some of the things on there were like loyalty cards which ... I don't think count):
#1 Education
This is a given, I suppose - anything that gets you a new skill is worth spending on, I'd agree with that.
#2 Labour saving products for work
Anything that again improves your productivity at work, ie your ability to earn more money. Makes sense.
#3 Experiences
“An experience that improves your health and quality of life can be a good target for a splurge.” That's fair - something you'll never forget and enhances your life.
#4 Good kitchenware
Yep. I didn’t make this up.
According to Business Insider, kitchenware that lasts is always a good investment because it’ll encourage you to cook home more often - saving money on going out, while at the same time perfecting a great life skill.
Plus, I’d add that you get to control what you put into your body and thus, control your health.
Have you ever heard a better argument for splurging on one of our beautiful knives?
Optimised for both function and feel? Optimised for control?
Tbh at this price, it barely even feels like a splurge!
What are you waiting for? Business Insider wouldn't wait...
