The difference on a long haul flight, especially flying East, is immense IMO. Going from coach/coach + to getting lay flat seats especially on those overnight flights allows me to actually sleep a bit and get on a normal schedule when I arrive. Using points, miles, has made this reasonable money wise.Agreed. I never regret it if I pay extra for first or business class,
Wait ... what is this now? What are carbon steel pans?Carbon Steel pans over Cast Iron
Does Lasik over contacts count? Best money I've ever spent. Certainly my mountain bike if we're comparing it to something you'd get from walmart. My lawn tractor without a doubt over a push mower if they're both in the same category.
Lasik for sure. Don’t know why I waited it is such an amazing quality of life jump.
Put me down for being in total agreement. It was tremendous improvement in 5 minutes. I was amazed at the immediate difference it made.Says literally everyone that's had it done. What an amazing medical technology.
I was curious to know if things would play out that way over such a time frame. Personally, I'd be thrilled if my vision stays this way for 20 years. I'd gladly drop another $5k if it bought me an additional 20.I probably had it done close to 20 years ago and I probably need to do it again. My distance sight is getting blurry again and I am supposed to get free touch ups for life.

Totally depends on one's situation. If you're making Dan Patrick money and money doesn't matter, absolutely.I forget where I heard it (might have been Dan Patrick) but he said something like, "The greatest money you'll ever spend, is money spent on having someone else do the work."
It's so true. Whether it be moving or fixing something. Yeah, you might be able to do it cheaper by yourself. But I'd rather spend the money for someone else to do it while I go play golf or whatever.
I'm just saying for me, that's my upgrade that is worth paying for.Totally depends on one's situation. If you're making Dan Patrick money and money doesn't matter, absolutely.
If you're like most people who struggle to save enough for rainy day issues, learning how to do stuff for yourself saves a lot of money over the course of your lifetime. Not to mention, those few times I have done something for myself that actually worked, the feeling of accomplishment is considerable.
Old misers who won't let a penny go without a fight, and waste their weekends on something that would cost an hours worth of wages is a very different story.
I personally like fixing thing and what the bolded is just enormous for me. If you know how to fix something, sometimes it actually saves you time (in addition to money) instead of having to deal with contractors who all too frequently either aren't professional and/or aren't good at their job.Totally depends on one's situation.

When I got the procedure they had told me that your eyes will continue to change. They also said if you were a person that is going to need reading glasses that even with having lasik you will still be a person that needs reading glasses because that's a different situation of just your eyes getting old.I was curious to know if things would play out that way over such a time frame.

I agree. I certainly don't make Dan Patrick (or even FBG) money, sadly. But when something is broken, I prefer to pay someone who's an expert to fix it. There are some outliers, though.I'm just saying for me, that's my upgrade that is worth paying for.

Agree. I can demo with the best of 'em. Pulling weeds, sure.for me it depends.
if i get to demolish something with my hands... i'll do that myself.
yard work i actually like. physical labor is good by me.
it's fine-motor skills that are time intensive which i pay for.
Weird thing is, I generally hate yard work. I live in Arizona and we have lots of illegals that do yard work very cheaply. I always considered it money well spent.for me it depends.

Yeah, when I was flying a lot, I loved getting the first class upgrade. I'm not sure we were in the financial position for me to do it all the time, but on certain flights I liked the space and breakfast for morning flights. I usually got it on an American flight from Dallas to Orange County, CA.... and it only cost $100 or so... breakfast, better ability to sleep, comfort, lookin' like a balla, etc.Agreed. I never regret it if I pay extra for first or business class,
And heated steering wheel. Game changer.yeah, i can't go back.
toss in remote start as well.
Being in MN with snow and ice I’ve tried the fancy ones before. I totally disagree on this. The regular $5 ones are better, oftentimes because the rubber casing makes it tough for them to work properly due to more wind resistance. Other styles may not have the wind thing but just don’t do a better job for double or triple the money.Windshield wipers
I'll agree with that. I've bought a few suits from a local place that makes custom Italian suits. Not something every professional needs, but if you are industry where looking the part counts, it is a worthwhile investment.higher quality tailored suit

In the same vein, snow tires (depending on one's climate).Being in MN with snow and ice I’ve tried the fancy ones before. I totally disagree on this.

I just want to add to this and you probably know this too but you "think, in your mind ah a grill is a grill" but it's really not. I had 2 or 3 cheap, throwaway, off brand name grills that would literally rust apart after a few years. Anyway, I've had mine for 10 or 15 years now, I've replaced a few parts here and there but it just cooks amazing well, it's a whole different experience, pretty amazing.Weber grill. Paid close to $900 for it 6 years ago. Still rock solid and cooks as even as the day I bought it with no more maintenance than cleaning it.
Is there such thing as an outhouse with a heated seat? That would almost make me buy one.i'd kill for a heated toilet seat
Yes. And his point (as is mine) is if it's something you DO NOT enjoy doing. No one is saying pay someone else to do something you like doing. It's meant as saying don't spend time breaking your back, being miserable when you can just pay someone else to do it. I can a couple of my buddies and we can move some heavy boxes out of a basement and haul them to a dump. But I could also pay someone to do that. I'd rather pay the money (upgrade) than try to save money and do it myself.I agree. I certainly don't make Dan Patrick (or even FBG) money, sadly.

Yeah, I was told about the readers as well. For my warranty, I'm required to get an general exam every two years. Its not a bad idea to get one done regardless to evaluate overall eye health. Apparently there's a version of lasik where you can have one eye treated for nearsightedness and the other treated for farsightedness. It doesn't work on everyone though so they see if you're a candidate by having you where contacts for a short period that accomplish the same thing.When I got the procedure they had told me that your eyes will continue to change. They also said if you were a person that is going to need reading glasses that even with having lasik you will still be a person that needs reading glasses because that's a different situation of just your eyes getting old.
I have noticed though over the last few years that my distance vision is getting worse and that I probably need an adjustment. It just hasn't gotten to the point that it bothers me enough to make an appointment. I am getting close though. I am very curious if they honor the free touch up for life guarantee. I am sure there was something I was supposed to do to make that stick. All I am hoping for is a nice discount but I will go for the free touch up first. I will report back once I find out what they are willing to do.
It just falls right off the bone.magnum condoms are soooo much more comfortable.
This is me, and it sucks. My wife was bugging me about a leaky faucet in the kitchen for a few weeks and she finally had enough and called in a plumber last week. The guy spent about 5 minutes looking at it, then told her it would be cheaper to buy a new one. I probably would have spent half a day, swearing, multiple trips to the hardware store, and it would still be leaking. I think he charged $100 for the home visit. Best money I've spent this year.Old misers who won't let a penny go without a fight, and waste their weekends on something that would cost an hours worth of wages is a very different story.
That's a great one. The AWD upgrade is a must in cold climates.4 wheel drive - for years I drove cars because I didn't think the extra expense and gas was worth dealing with snow through the winter. Definitely a game changer and will never go back to 2 wheel drive for a daily driver.
Not nearly as worth it as the upgrade from British butler to French maid.My British butler is WAY better than my American one was.
Costs a little more, but the attention to detail + the pride in the job makes the extra expense worthwhile.
ABSOLUTELY!$5/month for the ad free, limitless skips Pandora
Good TP
A good mattress and pillows
I'm that dude in front of you but I'm like you in that I prefer the Mezz as I'd rather just sit and relax.Dress Circle/Mezzanine over orchestra seats for concerts. Much better to look down, and not have to look over the 6'3" dude in front of you. *Unless you're within the front couple of rows.
How much does tailoring cost usually?Don't know about the other two but I can vouch for this.
Just bought a new suit by Hart Schaffner Marx and it makes one feel like a million bucks. Throw in the $160 shirt and $160 tie and now you're really feeling it!
