Dave Ramsey: 7 Items Worth Splurging On

Posted on April 19, 2012 Written by Mary 3 Comments

Below is Dave Ramsey’s top 7 items that are WORTH Splurging on:
So tell me-do you agree or disagree? 

Toilet Paper: Living like no one else shouldn’t involve a rash and/or a new walking style.

Trash Bags: Go with the paper-thin plastic bags if you really want to. But realize that as soon as the plastic snaps, you’re the one on your hands and knees picking up Junior’s used diapers, those mashed potatoes from two days ago and that half-eaten can of pinto beans.

Running Shoes: Your slowly deteriorating Achilles tendon doesn’t care about your get-out-of-debt plan, but it would appreciate it if you would stop running half marathons in a pair of 10-year-old Converse.

Food: There’s a difference between inexpensive food and cheap food. Cheap food (i.e. fast food) will save you a buck of two, but you’ll more than pay for it 20 years from now when a heart surgeon is scraping your arteries clean.

Bed Sheets: Turns out, sleeping on sandpaper isn’t comfortable unless you are a two-by-four.

Office Chair: Yes, my lower back feels like someone drove a spike through it when I leave the office every day, but I saved $200 on this office chair! Super cool, right? No, that’s not super cool at all. You’d be better off standing up.

Silverware: If your knives and forks are the shape of a crescent moon, we think it’s okay to spend a few extra dollars on a nicer set

    I never really thought about this but you are so right on all of these. This is really helpful to me to hear you say this, you’ve lifted the guilt I sometimes feel.

    I agree with most of it. You can still save on these items. Buy toilet paper on sale, with a coupon. We buy garbage bags at Costco. Target sheets are fine, and look for a sale. Just get the higher count Pima. Office chair. I had a $600 one that adjusted every which way. My back still hurt; and now it is broken. Height won’t adjust anymore. So, Hubby uses it. He likes to sit down low.

    I agree this does lift some of the silly guilt that can come from everday purchases, especially when you are watching every dollar or dime. Dave’s list makes sense. I could see custmizing it even more to fit my family. For example, buying quality brand kids clothes that can be handed down and then consigned.
