worth it:
housecleaner
a car detailer that comes to you (just a few times per year)
Kerrygold butter and good non-shelf stable bread
everything associated with the bed- quality mattress, sheets, duvet, pillow
Wolf range

not worth it:
manicures, particularly "high end" ones
"status" credit cards like Amex platinum
luxury brand handbags

OP here. Nice start, I forgot to add
- AllClad cookware. We’ve had our set for 20 years, still like brand new. Never had to buy pots and plans to replace these. The quality is incomparable

I buy feminine products from France. Shipping is only $25. They have the most amazing things the U.S. does not. We are backwards here.

I’ll go first:
1- Lululemon & Athleta yoga pants are worth it on quality, comfort and they last forever.
2 - Spirit or Frontier sound like a good deal, but you won’t ever see me flying on those carriers. Sure, the other carriers have problems too but no discount is worth the total experience and feeling of safety.
This is a survey I’m trying to “tell a story” so please humor me with examples of items you happily pay more for vs the cheaper product. TIA!


What makes Spirit or Frontier unsafe? I’ve flown on both and while they suck for various reasons, I’ve never felt unsafe. Alaska and Southwest are the ones with recent safety disasters. If United starts flying the 737 Max again, I’d consider it an unsafe airline.


If there’s any truth to the videos, the passengers seem like the biggest risk. I flew Play once and the only thing I disliked about it was the rude passengers who sat in other people’s seats and kicked the people in front of them.
