There are things we want to spend money on but shouldn’t. And then there are things we don’t want to spend money on but have to. These days, the goal is to save money, even when a necessary purchase arises. But the writers at www.DivineCaroline.com say there are some things worth spending a little extra money on. For example? Your Mattress. 

“It’s where you drift off to sleep every night and where you greet every day. It makes sense that you want that night of sleep, or occasional nap, to help you wake up feeling well rested. So go ahead and pay a little more for the high-quality mattress.” 

That’s from a Scripps news service story published in late August, referring to a story written by Allie Firestone for Divine Caroline-a women’s lifestyle website-in October 2008. Here’s the full list of things worth paying extra for: 

1. A mattress 
     

2. A refrigerator 
     

3. Running Shoes 
     

4. Quality, healthy food 
     

5. Medical expenses 
     

6. An accountant 
     

7. Mental health 
     

8. Quality furniture* 
     

9. Hybrid car 
     

10. Durable pans and knives 
      

* “Cheap furniture is best avoided whenever possible. Whether you’re talking kitchen table or couch, getting one that lasts and makes you comfortable means spending a little more.”
