What is comfort worth? Quality of Life.
Money | August 11th, 2008
Anything you spend a lot of time doing is worth spending money on. You are worth it! Don’t cheap out, giving thoughtful attention to your well being improves productivity and pleasure.
Investment Pieces
- Chair: Danielle can park her butt for up to twelve hours in a chair, writing. We bought her a Herman Miller chair. It is the Porsche of office chairs. Writers, indulge yourself, buy a chair that supports your spine and your art!.
- Bed: We spend up to 25 years of our lives in bed “Timely replacement and mattress quality can have a very positive impact on sleep and overall quality of life.” This is imperative for me because I am now waking up with sore shoulders & lower back pain. I’ve got to bite the bullet and invest in my comfort or really, my quality of life.
- Car: Do you spend an enormous amount of time in your car? Comfort and safety is a must… and great tunes.
How can you invest in the quality your of life?

I’ve had that chair on my wishlist for a couple of years. Time to start a specific fund, I think!
Last year, for Christmas, I asked for a huge flat-screen computer monitor. A bit of a “vacuum cleaner present” as we say in my family, but it is the thing I look at for hours every day, and it really makes a difference.
Slowly, I’m learning to invest in the things I use every day – a great purse, the perfect coffee mug – and pay less attention to “special” “dress-up” stuff. In fact, I’m now much more likely to wear a thrift shop purchase for dress-up (sequin pants from Housing Works, hello!) and spend my money on a casual dress that makes me feel great!
