2. A Decent Mattress

On average, you’ll spend 26 years of your life sleeping. You may as well be comfortable! Remember to try before you buy. Take your time, make the shop assistant feel weird.

3. Good Knives

A blunt knife will zap the joy out of cooking but a decent one will save you time and make all that prep work a pleasure. You don’t have to break the bank, a decent kitchen knife costs as little as £13 from Ikea. Trust us, when you cut through those veggies like they’re butter, you’ll see what we mean.

5. Dental Care

This is a no brainer. Dental problems are always best nipped in the bud. Waiting could result in costly bills and a whole world of pain.

6. Experiences

Instead of splashing out on material things, why not consider treating yourself to a meal out with friends, or a mini break? Experiences can give you lasting memories, something to look forward to and they’re a great way to bond with friends and loved ones.

8. Get A Cleaner

If you’ve got kids or a busy lifestyle or slack housemates, why not consider a cleaner a couple of times a month? It’ll save you time, stress and passive aggressive notes from your roomies.
