What is one thing you should always splurge on?

For men, I think it is worth it to invest in a pair of high quality dress shoes.

No, not the $800 prada whatevers. Not a bunch of different styles. Just invest in 2 pairs of timeliness dress shoes (black and some sort of brown - walnut, bourbon, etc.)

If taken care of properly a solid pair of shoes from a place like Allen Edmonds will last you for 10–20 years. And even after that they offer recrafting services that will set you back $100 to extend the lifetime another 10+years.

Instead of churning through a more cheaply made, fitting, and looking $80 pair of shoes every 1–2 years you have 2 pairs of shoes that you can go to for a black tie event down to dressing up jeans and a collared shirt.

They look smart, and it definitely makes a solid impression.

Edit: I suppose when you say “always splurge” I don’t really consider this a splurge since you are spending this money every decade or so.

Either save up for or when you start getting your first big paychecks:

A quality mattress.

I bought a nice California King Mattress, and let me tell you, it is a life changer.

The trick is to invest a couple hours in trying out mattresses, find one that is firm - but not tooooo firm.

It will be a bit pricey - but mattresses last a long time and you’ll be spending 1/3 of your life in bed - why not drop a few bucks?

If you share the bed with a person (or a few animals) quality mattresses will reduce the herky jerk feeling of other people (or animals) moving around at night.

You are basically investing in sleeping better and preventing back problems.

Quality Mattress = Worth.

Maybe not “always,” but I love splurging on shampoo and conditioner. There really is a difference as you start paying more for certain hair products.

You won’t be choosing between strawberry or citrus scents, you’ll be choosing whatever suits your hair - and it will smell divine regardless. Your hair will be smoother and softer and you’ll run your fingers through it, shocked that your hair could feel and smell this wonderful.

Even the act of washing and conditioning will feel different. Expensive conditioner feels silkier as you apply it, and feeling your hair as you rinse it out is remarkably different, too. It’s so much softer and easier to run your fingers through, even when wet.

This is one of the few products I give myself permission to splurge on.

High quality pots, pans, bakeware and cookie sheets. and knives. If you buy the best that you can afford, they will last a lifetime. The exception to this would be non-stick type pans. All the non-stick pans I have tried needed to be replaced after 7 years on average.

My stainless steel pot and pan set is over 30 years old, as are my stainless steel mixing bowl set, French white Corning Ware serving set, Pyrex glass bakeware and measuring cups, Oneida flatware.

A good principle to keep in mind when spending money is productive vs. unproductive capital. If you save up and buy a factory, you are spending productively. If you buy yourself a ton of clothes or luxury goods, it is unproductive in that it will not generate income.

I don't recommend exclusively being practical though. If your loved ones appreciate gifts, and the intent behind it, its a good idea to do.

If you do splurge on things for yourself, buy good quality.

Tools, furniture, kitchen wares etc are all going to be used indefinitely, so its a good idea to get good stuff.

Buying at least one amazing suit is always a good idea, especially for men.

Intangible, unimportant, and transient items like buying unlocks on video games is probably the worst way to spend money.

I consider conspicuous spending to gain social status also not to be worth it, but it is actually very pivotal to some professions, and it makes some people happy: so it has a role.

I feel like a good answer to this is a climbing equipment.

If I’m going to be trying to climbing any intense cliffs or something (I assure you that I’m not), then I feel like I want to make sure that I have the best climbing equipment that I can afford.

I was going to initially say “a parachute” but it occurred to me that if my parachute failed, I’d likely just die. If some of my climbing gear failed, there’s a good chance that I’d die, but it’s also possible that I would fall, break my spine or legs, and be unable to get help before I died some time, perhaps days, later.

I’d rather not have that happen.

There are some very good answers here already, but I will add, good quality shoes.

I developed some foot problems when I was younger. I was wearing poorly made, poorly fitting, cheap shoes for years. Now I wear good quality shoes, even heels and such, and I never get foot pain anymore!

There is a single brand I buy all of my shoes from. I usually wait til they are on sale. Why do I only buy from one brand? Not only are they stylish, but they are well made and always comfortable! So try to find a good brand that consistently makes quality shoes that look and feel great on your feet. I’m not talking about “designer,” but better quality than the really cheap ones.

I find that $150-$300 is a good price point for quality. That depends where you live, of course. I never pay $300, but I have bought ones that we that price before they went on sale.

There are no such things a cheap paper products. 

Paper towels: 

White Bounty Select-a-Size. Kleenex brand two ply. 

Toilet paper: 

○ Cottonel Heavy Duty.

It took two years after our marriage for me to convince my darling wife of the truth of this simple fact. She kept trying every bargain brand in the store until I informed her that one more bleeding hemeroid due to her false frugality would result in my retention of legal counsel.

There is no such thing as cheap paper products.

That depends on where you are in life. But you should never splurge on anything to either:

a) keep up with others, 

b) go into debt, talking credit card here, 

c) to fill an emotional void. 

Things I used to do regularly, are now things I splurge on. “Splurging” is a very personal thing for each of us. Just be cognizant of what you are doing and why.

I don't drink a lot, but have learned that there's no reason to drink crappy liquor or beer. The difference between junk and the good stuff is profound.

(I'm not suggesting going straight to the most expensive stuff, especially if you can't yet recognize the diff. In fact, rarely is the most expensive worth it, in my experience.)

Besides tasting a lot better (no, really really far better), the next day is a lot easier even if you overdo.

And friends appreciate it too.
