Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I’ve found but my chosen brand fails me.

    Everything that is under you. Shoes, mattress, bike, car, desk chair etc.

    Cheaping out on the above will cost you more in hospital and physical therapy bills.

      Good comment! It’s a great rule of thumb.

      I’ll add: a good bike helmet, which is a single-use item. One knock to the head and the helmet’s dead: if you are okay it’s done its job.

      “Don’t skimp on things that seperate your ass from the road.”

      Includes tires, helmets or PPE, furniture and what you said.

      One of my dads advice nuggets. Has yet to fail me.
