Good ways to spend money to improve your life?
Discussion
The OH and I have been discussing this lately, what are the best and most effective ways you can spend more money an improve your life, either though gaining back time or just making life more enjoyable?
I initially said a 4 day week, but then i came to the realisation that I do actually enjoy my job, and it doesn’t make much sense to drop 20% of my salary plus the pensions etc to have a extra day to then do chores, it’s makes much more sense to carry on 5 days a week, but get a cleaner to do the cleaning and ironing which are both things I cannot stand doing
Food is always the best quality we can find, usually
Delivered or from the farm shop where it’s actually enjoyable to shop
Pensions are maxed out so other savings will be going towards bridging the gap between giving up work when I want too and private pension age
Salary sacrifice a car instead of running one privately, tax saved, no MOTs to worry about, less admin buying insurance and road tax every year
Living life to enjoy it with trips, buying nice quality products, not skrimping etc
Even smaller things like replacing our current air con unit with a new quieter model as the current one is very loud
What other ways could life be optimised and improved by spending a bit extra?
