#18: Treat Your Feet
Parents usually give their children financial advice about saving money and being frugal. This mom, however, has a different approach to investing.

This advice may seem way out of the left field, but it makes so much sense. Having good shoes, tires, or a mattress has positive long-term effects on your posture, personal safety, and wallet. Some things in life are okay to splurge on. You get what you pay for, after all.
