Things You Can Enjoy:

 

A Comfortable Bed

As a general rule in buying things for your room, you shall always spend more to the things in closer proximity to you like your sheets, pillows and bed. In our lifetime, we spend almost 25 years or 9,000 days sleeping. So why not give yourself the benefit of a quality bed?

 A Good Office Chair

Applying the same principle, a good office chair can be seen as an investment or as a capital expense. Investing in your comfort could make your productivity rate higher!

Quality Time at A Good Restaurant with Your Parents

It is never too early to make your parents feel your gratitude. Treating them dinner in a high end restaurant could repay all their hard work and sacrifices they made for you back then. You can even book a vacation with them to spend more quality time with family.

 

 

A Holiday

Take a break and relax! There is nothing wrong with rewarding yourself with a break. A vacation for yourself doesn't have to be expensive-it could mean driving or staying in at a fine hotel. Don't feel guilty on spending for yourself because you worked hard for it, and you know you deserve it.

 

 

Things You Can Use

 

A New Office Outfit

Sometimes, the way we see ourselves, or the way we want others to view us really gives us motivation to work harder or gives us just plain satisfaction. Buying a new office outfit will definitely make some changes not only in your appearance but also make you more confident. Just remember not to go crazy shopping for the things you don't really need.

 

A Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

If investing in a robotic vacuum cleaner buys you more time to rest and relax, why not go and finally buy one?

 

Things that make us better

 

Learn A New Skill

Learning never stops. We are never too old to learn more things. As grown ups, we tend to focus on things that we need for the day to go by, without really seeing things in the long run. Making time in acquiring a new skill makes us see new perspectives and opens new doors for everyone. It can be anything-cooking, painting, learning to play an instrument or to speak a new language, scuba diving, knitting-name it.

Buy Books

Read for entertainment, read for knowledge. It doesn't really matter what you read, as long as you make time for reading. It could be about the adventures you can't have, or about the things you want to explore. Reading about these things keeps us motivated, and with motivation we long to improve and continue to grow.
