A straight razor: "Bought a 1940's DE razor and my face is in love. Good for the enviornment over disposable razors and I'll save money in the long term when it comes to buying razor blades."

Wet wipes: "Being a cheap skate I never bought wet wipes on my own, but since they were there at work to use when I was pooping, I used them. Holy cow! So awesome. Then when I was at the store one day I said 'what the hell' and splurged on the wet wipes. That was 10 years ago. I'd never go back,"

Chimney cleaning: "I'm a chimney sweep. Clean your freaking chimneys! Yes it's expensive, but it's a specialty service and could save your life."

Travelling: "Seriousl, the absolute best thing you ever spend your money on is seeing the world, diffferent perspectives and cultures, and experiencing things you would otherwise never experience. It completely changes you as a person for the better."

Regular oil changes: "Oil is literally the life-blood of your vehicle. Your car won't keep going places without routine maintenance."

Condoms: This one's kind of a no-brainer. "A few bucks can save hundreds of thousands down the road (assuming you're not looking to have kids of course.)

A First-Aid Kit: "These things are essential for emergencies where you, your family/friend or even a stranger endures catastophic damage to their bodies. It's better to be prepared than to watch someone bleed out while wating for an ambulance."

Black out curtains: " I just spent about $400 on two curtains and a curtain road. I've been getting way better sleep and don't start to toss and turn an hour before I have to get up. Also, I've noticed that since my cat seems to always want to sleep in the room he's been sleeping in also. He's like a rooster and wakes up at any sign on sunlight to stand on my chest and death stare me until I wake up to feed him."

Deodrant: If you find a scent you you really like, buy $1000 worth of that shit because the company will evenutally stop making it."

A high quality computer: "You pay a low price, you get a shitty computer. You pay a lot of money and get a kick ass machine. It's worth what you pay for it every time."

A bike helmet: "A good helmet, no matter what kind of bike you ride. I've had cases where couple of my mates have ended up in hospital because of their shitty helmets - concussion, split head."

Birth control: "Twenty bucks a month for a regular cycle, less hormones and no kids? YES!"

A good set of knives: "A good knife will last for years and be much easier than a cheap blade that loses it's edge right out of the box."

The correct plunger: "I was disgracefully hung-over, and my brother had stacked all his clothes on the toilet. Tried pushing some breakfast down, and it noped out fast as I swallowed it. Instead of chucking his clothes on the foor, I risked crapping my pants and just threw up in the sink. TL;DR a plunger really would have helped."

Insurance: "My apartment building burned down. Got an $18,000 cheque 2 weeks later. Cost renter's insurance? $15/month."

A decent mattress: "I will never understand how a person can spend twenty grand on a car they sit in thirty minutes a day but will suddenly balk at spending fifteen hundred on something they will spend a third of their life on."

A perfect fitting bra: If I were a girl, I would be a bra nerd. Bras are engineering. With cantilever support from the waistband balanced against the lift of the straps to provide support and reduce jiggle to correct for the chosen activity."

A real leather belt: "Make sure it's REAL leather. Not that shitty pressed together department store crap. I've been using the same one for 12 years now. Replaced a few buckles, but the belt is still good to go."

Top shelf tires: "You can have a top of the line car that has every latest safety feature know to man but none of it matters if you can't stop when you get cut off. Once you have driven on a set of good tires you will notice how much better the car feels overall. Plus a good set will last longer."

High-speed Internet: "Internet access is always worth the money. The ability to connect to people all around the world is priceless. How else would we entertain ourselves in the bathroom?"

A cab ride home the bar (god bless Uber): "I once divided the total cost of my friend's DUI by the average cab fare it takes me to get to the bars and realized I could take a cab every weekend for years and still come out cheaper than a DUI."
