36 Things That Are Worth the Money
These are the products and experiences worth splurging on.
By Jaime Catmull November 4, 2020 Savings Accounts 101
It’s always tempting to look for the best deal, but some things are simply worth splurging on — even if you’re on a budget. As you decide when to spend and when to save, consider where quality matters to you and which experiences are on your to-do list. I spoke to financial experts and business leaders to get insight into their thoughts on the best ways to spend money. Some of these recommendations — like international travel — might not be realistic now, in the middle of a pandemic, but they’re still worth keeping in mind for the future. These are the purchases experts say you won’t regret.
Hiring a Virtual Assistant
Anthony Clervi, managing partner at Una, said investing in a virtual assistant can be “invaluable.” Hiring an efficient assistant to take care of administrative tasks enables you to focus more on the aspects of your work that need your attention and could help shave hours off your workweek. Virtual assistants typically cost an average of about $16 an hour, according to PayScale.
Working Out With a Personal Trainer
Personal trainers cost an average of $26 per hour, PayScale reports. This might seem like an unnecessary expense, but personal trainers can help you meet fitness goals that you might not be able to achieve on your own — and you can’t put a price on your health. The benefits of hiring a trainer include a personalized workout, detailed instruction, motivation, accountability, a variety in your workouts and efficiency, according to Livestrong.
“Hiring a fitness coach is absolutely worth the investment and here’s why: If you’re Batman, your physical body is your Batmobile, which means it’s the vehicle that not only allows you to move and perform optimally as a human being, but keeps you feeling confident and attractive when you look in the mirror each day,” said Andrew White, co-founder of IVRY Fitness. “We pay for tons of things in life that function purely for our own entertainment, so why not flip the script and invest in yourself?”
If a personal trainer is out of your budget, do the next best thing and join a gym.

If they really cared about CO2 emissions, they’d skip the event entirely, because the only thing coming out of their mouths is lies and hot air.
