Sometimes, there are things in life where you wonder if they're actually worth spending the extra money on or not. (If you can afford to in this economy, at least! 😅) I came across this thread where redditor u/Graygigabyteeasked, "What's something that's extremely worth the money but no one ever talks about?" Here are some of them.
"When my wife and I remodeled, I installed a second dishwasher. Now, after dinner, all the plates and cups and stuff from dinner can join the rest of the day's dishes in one, while the pots and pans can go in the other. It's absolutely amazing."
4."Homeowner's insurance. Always worth the money to make sure one's home is covered. Too many times I've watched tornado victims or other weather-related victims talk about not being able to rebuild their homes due to lack of insurance. Not many talk about it, but it's one thing every homeowner needs."
8."One of those drain snakes. Man, what a disgusting lifesaver."
9."A good desk chair. Seriously, so many people have crappy discount chairs at their desks — but a good desk chair makes a huge difference in your performance. Mine kicks ass, with lumbar support, heat, and massage. My company paid out the ass for it I’m sure, but because I’m comfortable, I give 100% not having an aching back.
12."A really quality computer or laptop. It’s better to spend double the money on a good computer that’ll have twice the lifespan with the added benefit of being so much faster than a cheaper one. Especially for those who often use a computer working at a desk job, coding, or playing games. While a shitty one might theoretically do the job, the amount of time and frustration you’ll save in waiting at a loading screen, booting up the system, compiling code, loading new web pages, lowering settings, etc. will add real quick up to be dozens if not hundreds of hours of your life."
13."High-quality paper products — and I am including feminine hygiene products as well. Good toilet paper, soft paper towels, high-quality tissues with lotion or aloe, pads, and tampons that don't leak. All these items really make life better and more comfortable."
14."A good pair of jeans. One pair of high-end jeans will often outlive several pairs of cheaper low to mid-price range jeans. Learned that from my broke teenage years."
15."TSA Pre-check (if you’re a citizen in the US). $85 for five years of shorter and quicker security lines. Saved my ass a few times when I was running late."
16."Having a professional review your résumé when you're looking for a job. This can be expensive, but it's really worth it."
17."Furniture. It wasn't until I was an adult and was buying my own stuff that I found this out. Still, a few years ago, my husband and I had to buy new furniture, and honestly, it's complete shit and had already broken down. You really gotta spend a lot of money to get yourself something that will last you through the years."
