Hello all,

It is almost midnight and I am here to talk to you about investment purchases. Or my most recent one. I don’t think I know what I’m talking about, so take all of my comments with a grain of salt. And keep in mind that I am 24, okay? 🙂 Thank you for your patience.

Anyway, I bought a mattress this past Friday. It was…..umm… the most expensive thing I have ever purchased for myself that was not the house I currently live in. I’m trying to think of something else, but no. My laptop isn’t that expensive and… okay.. don’t judge, but the car I drive now is the car I drove in college and my parents got that for me. I know that changes my input for some already because I’ve gotten help here and there. I get it if you think that way, but my life hasn’t me getting everything. I appreciate everything my parents have done for me.

ANYWAY, back to my bed. WOW. That’s all I could think during the process. Well, first, actually, I didn’t like the whole laying on random mattresses ordeal. I know that’s probably the best way to know if you like a mattress but I didn’t like laying down in front of a salesperson and hearing them pitch at me. Felt unnatural.

Still, I persevered and found what I was looking for. It is firm but not too. Which is great for me as I am a back and side sleeper.

It was a small fortune. And, by the way, I got it during this time since it was supposed to be a good time to buy, with Memorial Day sales coming up. Now, here is my point that I’m really trying to make.

I think it is okay. Yes, I was floored by how much money it was, but in the long run it will be good for me. I spend so much time in bed and the one I had was starting to hurt my back (queue the old person jokes).I don’t know, it makes sense to invest in something that will 1) be with me for a long time and 2) will benefit me more than hurt. Maybe this isn’t an investment purchase and I’m trying to justify my purchase or maybe its a very obvious one and I’m stupid, but either way, I am excited.

I think we should see a lot of our big purchases through the Investment purchase(???) lens. Mmm… Maybe not.

I have been purchasing sheets and comforters as well to go with the new mattress. I will say that these I see a little bit less as investment purchases and more as indulgences, but hey!!! I’m not perfect okay. I’ve purchased from DreamFit Sheets (my boyfriend’s preference), we got a set from Tempurpedic, and I wanted to try Brooklinen. I’ve already tried the silk pillow cases from Brooklinen and I really like them. Oh, and Parachute, I did buy comforters from them. I can do a review once I’ve tried everything. I have high hopes for Brooklinen, but as of now I am biased.

Here’s to lots of sweet dreams. Or nightmares if I think of the price tag one more time.

You know what, I need to grow up, this is a good purchase. Its not something stupid, its something I need. I feel good. Goodnight everyone. 🙂
