10 Affordable Life-Changing Household Items I Wish I’d Purchased 10 Years Ago
I don’t know about you, but I have big “I’ll deal with this later” energy. While puttering around the house and crossing tasks off my to-do list, I often notice moments when the simple addition of a tool or product could really enhance or optimize the experience. For instance, as I’m balancing on an ottoman stacked onto a chair, replacing a burnt-out lightbulb, I’ll think, “Hey, I should probably get a ladder.” But then down I tumble — disassembling the makeshift furniture mountain — and the thought is replaced with the need to find an ice pack ASAP.
However, after too many of those types of life lessons, I’m proud to say I’ve been reformed. After seeing in friends’ homes or on TikTok how life-changing a simple $5 to $35 purchase can be, I am now the optimizer. I have turned “deal with this later” into “confirm purchase” in the blink of an eye and now here I am, testifying publicly, that yes, a little bit of money can buy you a great deal of happiness.
While I still don’t own a ladder (it’s on my list!) I just bought a few life-changing items that, frankly, I wish I’d purchased a decade ago. If you’ve got some spare cash on hand and could use one of the 10 items below, heed my advice and click add to cart to improve your life today.
