Nice list and I completely agree with most of it. Regarding the cars I would like to add the Mazda3 to that list as well. Much nicer looking than the Corolla, a nice alternative to the Civic, rather sporty, handling is excellent, interior is near the best for its class, price seems almost too low for what you’re getting … oh and it gets very good mileage. Ranked #7 on your list which beats out the Corolla by the way. Cheers.

I’d have to say clothing: I buy good quality clothing in classic styles as the foundation of my work wardrobe. I hate to shop, so buying items that last me a long while eliminates my need to allocate a lot of my budget towards clothes or go out and buy things constantly.

I try to buy good quality clothes when they’re on sale, which usually means timing my purchases whenever the stores have sales or switch their lines of clothing with the seasons.

Coffee! I cannot drink the cheap stuff.

But I do mix good coffee with cheaper kind and it lasts longer.

@ChristianPF – Oh, I’m there…I’d love to have one, just can’t afford it right now. Plus I can use my computer from work, so it’s basically free. Someday…

#1 Nah, I don’t need to be using that interface, my Windows machines run just fine for years at a time.
#2 Yes. Yes and Yes. You save yourself more in the long run I feel, too. Less illness, less disease.
#3 I had a 94 Civic that did over 270000 miles before I was rear ended and it was totaled. I loved that car. I took over my wife’s ‘93 Nissan Sentra in 05, had it til the summer of 06 when the AC quit and it would cost way too much to replace, sold it to a friend for his niece as a first car and it’s still running strong. I replaced it with an 07 Toyota Matrix, and love it. Whereas my wife’s Chevy is a POS.
#5 I would have to say good coffee, not folger’s for sure, is well worth the extra.
#8 I have a nice leather slimline wallet in my front pocket. My posture thanks me.
#9 Yes. King Size. However beds don’t last forever…

Sounds like once you go Mac you don’t go back. They certainly look nice but the cost! Still. I’ll have to consider one when m laptop finally goes (or before hopefully). I drive a Toyota Corolla foe the reasons you list as well as the fact that it has a good re-sell value.

For dress shoes – what do you consider a good brand? I beat mine up but I hate spending a lot on them.

I totally agree on food. You are what you eat and you should enjoy it too. To that I would add it’s worth spending a little extra on quality beer. That’s just my own personal vice!

I am noticing a lot of people agreeing with #1 – GLBL, you ready to make the leap yet?
