Now that I am a little older, a lot wiser and considerably more financially sound than I was in my 20's and 30's I not only just love the good things in life I indulge myself in the good things in life. I prefer quality over quantity these days.I would rather have one really high quality item than several cheap, poorly made, low quality items. If I purchase a pair of shoes I want a quality pair of shoes that are going to do my feet more good than harm and I am willing to fork over the dough for quality. Yellow Box Shoes are a perfect example of high end shoes. Another example of great shoes and my most recent splurge is Volatile shoes. Love these and it's a family owned company.
A few other things I will fork the dough over for are a great quality meal in a high end restaurant, like It's All Greek To Me as well as quality food for everyday health, like buying organic, buying whole foods and shopping in the heath food aisles (where, yes things cost more) rather than choosing cheap foods that are junk. Shopping for food at places like Planet Organic rather then places like Walmart. It is true that you are what you and eat and garbage in is, well you know the result.
There is one thing that I think is a really good thing in life! However,I won't pay even Walmart or Costco prices for them even though they are usually cheaper and that is books. Books are definitely a very good thing in life, but I enjoy mine at rock bottom prices and because there is no difference in the quality (a book is a book) I pick up my books at Value Village.
Of course not all good things in life cost money, but choose quality over quantity for those things as well.
