-Good quality shoes and clothing--especially stuff like outerwear and things you'll use a lot. Worth their weight in gold
-We upgraded all the major appliances when we bought our house (W/D, DW, fridge, induction stove) and that was well worth it
-In general, ways to reduce your stress: we have a cleaning lady who comes once every three weeks, gym membership, top notch daycare for the kids. It's SUCH a relief knowing our kids are loved and well-cared for while we work.
-A good haircut. Color I can still do myself, but having a great stylist has made a huge difference in my ability to look put together quickly.
