I am a firm believer that there are some things in life that are always worth the money. Here's a few of the things that I'll splurge on & why I think they're worth it:
- Shoes- it's all about comfort! Don't believe me? Try it! (Cue the obligatory clever reference to walking a mile in one's shoes...)
- Sudafed & Tylenol (v. store brand)- I enjoy the coating & despise the lack thereof enough to spend the extra $1.50!
- My favorite candy- those green frogs with marshmallow on the bottom; they're rare enough to remain a novelty even though I buy them every time!
- Presents for others- if it's a really great gift, I can't resist!
- Dessert- particularly at fancy restaurants, but even in general, it's hard to beat a delicious ending!
- High-quality socks- my lovely roommate Sarah once said if she were a millionaire she'd buy enough socks to have a new pair for every day! I completely agree! (I got these fantastic ones from Timberland...)
- Fresh flowers- flowers are simply amazing to me & having fresh, beautiful ones to come home to just makes me so happy!
And if you say a great real estate investment, you've missed the point. Go talk to CK! ;-)

Great post! I'd say my top two are books (it's easier to just get a library pass, but I love buying books up) and juice/coffee. I love stuff like Odwalla or buying coffee on an impulse. -RC
Your post amuses me to no end. I can't say I have quite the same affinity for socks, but I am huge on splurging on comfortable fabrics. I often find super soft sweaters, slipper socks, blankets, etc. difficult to turn down. I'll also splurge on food and supplies to go camping. Being able to spend a weekend with friends in the great outdoors especially with an amazing view of the stars is worth so much more than the cost of a campsite, food, wood, etc. ~PZ
