10 Best Investments People Made for Themselves and Highly Recommend

Taking care of yourself is very important; people tend not to spend a lot of money on themselves cause they feel bad or make excuses why they can’t afford it.

However, sometimes investing in yourself and spending money to feel better can help immeasurably. Here are the best examples of investments people highly recommend for a better quality of life.

1. LASIK Eye Surgery

LASIK eye surgery is the number one spot on our list mentioned a lot. Everyone who has undergone the procedure said it was the best thing they ever did for themselves. They all agreed it is a big game changer, eliminating glasses and contact lenses.

2. Self-Care Investments

Self-care means different things to different people. However, many shared their experience as something everyone should indulge in, including dental care, exercise, reading, journaling, and sitting with themselves.

3. Traveling

Many reiterated travel as the best investment you can make in yourself. People confessed to expanding their worldview, learning life lessons, discovering themselves, and having several beautiful experiences. “I prioritize travel over almost all discretionary spending.”

4. Getting a Pet

Having a pet to love of any kind, a cat, dog, lizard, bird, etc., can be the best investment ever. Caring for a pet isn’t always easy, but for the love you receive in return, these fur baby owners believe it’s worth the $4k dog training classes and “$20k in stuff he’s destroyed.”

5. Buying Kitchen Gadgets

Anything that makes a job easier is welcome, especially creating and preparing food in the kitchen. People from this discussion gave the most attention to their Air Fryers and Instant Pots. They lower the time to cook, fry, and bake any meal, automatically making an excellent investment worth every penny.

6. Good and Comfy Clothing and Shoes

Wearing comfortable shoes and quality clothing is an investment in yourself. And the environment when avoiding fast fashion. You should always spend more on things between you and the ground. Skimping on shoes can lead to blisters and foot, hip, sciatic, and back pain.

7. Education

Education is an excellent investment that usually leads to a better understanding of the world around you and provides opportunities people without college degrees don’t receive. For example, certain professions require education. Unfortunately, many have had the opposite experience.

8. Nespresso Machine

For all the coffee addicts that spend too much money on Starbucks or any coffee daily, buying a Nespresso machine can save a lot of money and time. It’s a cheaper alternative for making coffee at home rather than continuing to dump a small fortune into your expensive daily habit.

9. A Comfortable Place to Sleep

A comfortable mattress is one of the best investments you can make, considering you spend 1/3 of your life in bed. You can’t put a price on good sleep and a rested body. A good pillow, excellent thread count, and down comforter were also listed as valuable investments with significant returns.

10. Therapy

Finally, seeking professional help and talking with someone can help tremendously. Spending money on therapy is an investment for a better quality of life and healing. Dealing with your problems and feeling better is vital for a healthy and happy life.
