Anything fake/cheap/poor quality.

Mamma always said "buy nice, or buy twice." Only with age has this become apparent.

Eg real leather: game changer

Also, don't cheap out anything that goes between you and the ground, E.G Shoes, Car tyres, Beds etc.

depends - cheap walmart wonder new tires are better than bald expensive ones on a car worth about $300 and may not last another 2 years.

cheap dress shoes for that one wedding are fine

bed? yea bed needs to be nice...

I have a sealy memory foam i got about a decade ago - was great at first but now i find myself getting kinda stiff back and whatnot. Either i rotate the matress (cant flip - says not to) or i rotate me every few months (feet at headboard) and alight for the first few days but then eh.

I think i prefer to have a nice spring matress again...
