People Break Down Which Items They Absolutely Don't Mind Spending Money On

Concert tickets to Adele. I'd sell my mother for front row seats.

Wiped

"Windshield wiper blades. I see some people using blades so old you can barely see through the smears, but new wipers are not all that expensive. 30 bucks might just save your life (and possibly someone else's) from being totally upended." ~ fernguts

Precision

"Tools." ~ KotexAvenger

"Good tools are so damn underrated. I remember buying cheap crappy precision screwdrivers only to realize that they basically become useless after just a month. Never going too cheap out on tools again." ~ PartyLikeLizLemon

"I look at all my tools as an investment in myself. I've saved more repairing stuff I own than I've spent on tools over an equal amount of time. I've also made money but that was only because I could. Quality tools are indeed important but there are many good affordable gems out there for the average hobbyist." ~ KotexAvenger

Threading Count

"Quality bed sheets. In college, I slept on some of the cheapest, ugliest sheets for years. They were awful. And as soon as I got a place of my own, I still gladly paid a little extra for better sheets. Even though I was mostly broke at the time, there are just some things you can't put a price on." ~ JackFisherBooks

Thick is Better

"Towels. The good super thick towels- once you try them, you won't want to go back. Completely dry with just a quick once over, without scrubbing all over trying to get dry. Bonus points if it's wide enough that you cover yourself easily. So much better than drying off with some cheap thing that hardly absorbs the water." ~ Weresalmon420

Sleepytime

"A good bed... Man, talk about an absolute game Changer." ~ Caleb_The_Cannibal

Anything to do with bedding... make a quality purchase. Your body will love you for it. And tools? I just learned that there are more than two wrenches. So there is my tool knowledge.

Holding Waste

"Strong bin liners/bags. Life is better when the thing that holds your decomposing waste is strong enough not to break under its own weight." ~ Thick_Perspective_77

For You

"Someone I love." ~ HollynBerry

"A lot of times i have trouble rationalizing buying things for myself. Like I'll convince myself I don't really need that or I would be happy with a less expensive version and stuff like that. But when it comes to really good friends and my siblings, I rarely think twice about spending the money." ~ chewytime

For the Feet

"Good shoes. My entire youth was plagued with money deficiencies that ended up with me having crap shoes due to my ignorance, and feet with calluses. I didn't realise my feet were a little wider than usual and some shoes really weren't good for me."

"I now look back at the last 12 years and realised that since I got to know my needs better, and chose to buy better quality shoes (quality VS quantity), I have literally ended up shoes that are over 12 years old sitting besides shoes that are 2 years old. Good shoes last a long bloody time. Your tastes might change over time, so makes sure to give 'em a good polish before deciding to give the old ones away." ~ FreakyGangBanga

make a plan...

"Condoms." ~ DirectionSevere9045

"When I worked retail there was this dude came in asked where the plan B pills was. He took one look at the price and started asking if we had anything cheaper. It was all I could do to not laugh in his face. Like yeah, condoms are a lot cheaper, but it seems like you have gotten yourself into a situation where buying plan B is for sure going to be your cheapest option." ~ dlpfc123

Comfort

"Thick, soft af toilet paper." ~ slipoutside

"Charmin ultra strong is the best toilet paper. Also a bidet attachment is worth it too." ~ Im_Old_In_Town

Good toilet paper is key to a happy life. Buy the best, your butt will thank you for it. And shoes, when buying shoes, quality matters.
