Things That Didn't Seem Worth The Money Until People Actually Tried Them

"Paying for..."

"Paying for movers."

I like how they can somehow break the laws of physics "How on earth is anyone going to carry that sofa up that narrow stairca... oh wait they've somehow done it already"

"A good..."

"A good shower head. Seriously, once you find the right one, it's worth every penny."

I'll amend it: A good detachable shower head.

Seriously. It's a godsend when you have to clean the bathtub and/or the shower. Just spray, let sit if needed, and rinse with the head. Voila.

"Not being uncomfortable..."

"Good underwear. Not being uncomfortable in the crotch was a 5% improvement to the overall quality of my life. Worth paying twice as much."

There aren't a lot of cheap purchases you can make that will improve your overall quality of life by 5 percent but there you have it!

"Owning..."

"Owning my own tools and learning how to build and work on things myself."

I have a little tool box under my sink and believe me, it's always come in handy when I've least expected it.

"A good quality..."

"A good quality mattress."

This is a big one. A good night's sleep is priceless.

"Good shoes."

"Good shoes. Even a $100 pair makes such a big difference compared to Target shoes."

This is so true. I have spent good money on my shoes and I am grateful.

"I thought air fryers..."

"I thought air fryers were overrated then a friend of mine gave me one (she got it for cheap at Costco) and now I use it all the time."

Welcome to the club! I love my air fryer! It has saved me so much time and money over the years.

"I used to spend..."

"Running the dishwasher every night. I used to spend an hour washing dishes everyday my whole life because we weren’t rich growing up and the dishwasher uses electricity. I used it for the first time a month ago and never going back. Time is more valuable."

It’s cheaper to use a dishwasher with an eco setting than to wash by hand.

One day I'll have one. One day.

"It's an art form..."

"A drywaller. It’s an art form, and they do it fast. Don’t attempt on your own, even if you think you are a handyman."

BlueJayFan94

Home drywallers say you can do it well or you can do it fast. You probably can't do both. The experts can do both and very much worth it.

"I HATE having my feet touched..."

"Pedicures! I HATE having my feet touched but once I finally broke down and got a pedicure 2 years ago I knew it was over. It so hard to explain but it’s like blissfully painful."

Alarming-Ad9441

I had my first last year and will never go back. It was worth it and I felt so luxurious.
