Most people spend roughly 1/3 of every day in bed. If you have the money to splurge on one piece of furniture in your house, spend it on a decent mattress. When I was younger, I just threw a futon on the floor and called it good enough, but I sleep so much better now that I'm no longer doing that... and a good night's sleep improves your odds of having a good rest of your day.
Some amazing advice was, "when you have money, prioritize spending on the things that go between you and the ground. Good mattress, good shoes, good tires, etc."
Agreed, and that's a good way of putting it. A buddy of mine does autocross racing, and he pointed out that the tires are the only four pieces of your car that actually touch the road. Totally changed my perspective, and I definitely prioritize tires now when I have to spend money on my car.
