Spending to make life better

[u/daughterofabiscuit]

What do you guys spend money on to make your life easier/better? Working is part of my identity and I love my job. My husband and I are also in the very fortunate position to be saving a ton already for retirement and 529 accounts for our 2 kids (3.5F and 2 months M). What are some ways to spend extra cash to make life easier/more enjoyable?

Things we already do:

Cleaner every other week

Paid someone to do mulch delivery/spreading

Paid for our pool opening/closing

Planning to take 2 nice vacations this year

I don't really have a set budget but maybe something in the range of $500-$1000/month? Or once time purchases ~$5000?

What can we afford to let our lifestyle inflate that has been "worth it" for you?

If I had extra money I would bump our cleaner to weekly instead of biweekly and have them do laundry too (especially linens and kids laundry). I would also get a massage once a month. I already spend a lot on fitness but I might add on the extra membership that I currently can’t justify since I already have a pricey gym I like.
