3 Things I No Longer Spend Money On and 3 Things I Always Will

Do you ever just think about the ridiculous things you’ve spent your money on? Or look at something you own and think to yourself “I would buy this 100 times over.” I wanted to share a few things I can’t bring myself to spend money on anymore and things I absolutely always will.

 

3 Things I No Longer Spend Money On and 3 Things I Always Will

What I do not spend money on anymore:

Coffee Out (unless traveling): In 2021 I finally got a Nespresso maker and truthfully I just don’t think getting coffee at places like Starbucks tastes anywhere near as good. If you see me out I almost always have a coffee from home.

Random mugs and water bottles: I used to constantly buy mugs, water bottles, etc and it was SUCH a waste of money. I have a few special mugs we’ve gotten traveling and then the mugs I use every day for coffee but I no longer buy them. I Also just use my Simple Modern water bottles everyday and I have a couple. I love those because they don’t spill!

Overpriced bouquets of flowers: I won’t even really let Andrew buy me flowers anymore. I prefer to go to Trader Joes and get bunches of different flowers and greenery and make my own bouquets. It’s something I have come to find very calming and soothing and you save a ton of money. Plus the quality is way better and they last longer.

 

What I will spend money on:

Quality manicures/pedicures: I love having my nails and toes done so they always are and I will gladly work that into my budget.

Nice appliances/tech products etc: If we are buying a new appliance or tech item we buy a quality one. No sense in having something break and having to repurchase. Same goes for things like hair dryers.

Travel/experiences/meals: My favorite thing to spend money on are experiences. Travel, amazing dinners out, concerts etc. Things are great but the memories are what I hold way closer.
