There are certain areas in life where saving a bit of money just isn’t worth the trade-off. Here’s where I believe spending well pays off:
Fitness & Travel: Investing in cycling gear, fitness, and enriching travel experiences always feels worth it. These aren’t just hobbies, they’re part of a healthy, balanced life.
Food & Internet: Good food is essential, both for myself and my pets — quality ingredients, fresh veggies, and reliable sources for eggs, dairy, and vitamins. I also don’t compromise on a solid internet connection (sometimes dual lines!) because connectivity is truly foundational.
Transport: Comfort and convenience matter, so I’ll always choose a rickshaw over a crowded bus, and if the journey’s long or time is short, I’m happy to book a flight.
Hygiene: Cleaning supplies like phenyl, incense, camphor, and effective tools help keep my home safe and pleasant. This is never a place to cut corners.
Upskilling: I spend for learning – whether it’s courses, books, or seminars. Investing in skill development always feels right.
Shoes: I believe in buying good shoes. They last longer and protect your feet. Mattresses fall under the same philosophy: they impact your daily comfort and sleep quality.
Safety: When it comes to personal safety, I don’t hesitate to splurge. Whether it’s flights over trains, higher-class tickets, choosing cabs for security, or just being careful about transport options — especially for women, safety is non-negotiable.
Time Efficiency: If something saves me significant time, I’ll invest in it — be it quicker travel, high-quality mattresses, good tyres, or even premium tech.
Tech: I love good tech. Laptops, phones, monitors, and gaming consoles — I’d rather pay more for reliability and performance.
Stuff That Keeps You Off the Ground: Shoes, mattresses, tyres: never cheap out on things that keep you separated from the ground. It’s a simple rule for long-term wellbeing.
In summary, I’m frugal in many areas, but when it comes to health, comfort, safety, and reliability — I believe spending a little more is always worth it.
