I love spending money. I love having money to spend more.
I tell myself money is the root of many evil, but truthfully it's also the root of survival.
Let's face it, we need money. And even when there isn't a ton to go around there are items in life you just have to spend it on.
Sometimes quality is key. There are necessities that you just can't skimp on like cars, baby items, food. The list is pretty endless, which is why most of us are broke.
Now don't get me wrong, I love a good deal and generic is a steal. But once in awhile, you just have to make the purchase.
Redditor PartyLikeLizLemon wanted to hear about all the things we love to throw money at, no matter the cost, by asking:
"What is one thing you absolutely don't mind spending money on?"
Wiped

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

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

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
