Some good advice.

Somebody told me once that I shouldn’t pinch pennies on the three things that separate me from the earth.

They are:

• good shoes

• a good mattress, and

• good tires

Think about it.

• Your shoes – Good footwear supports your body, protects your feet, and affects your posture and long-term joint health.

• Your bed (mattress) – You spend about a third of your life sleeping, and a quality mattress directly impacts your rest, recovery, and spinal health.

• Your tires – On your car, bike, or other vehicle — they’re literally the only part in contact with the road, affecting safety, performance, and fuel efficiency.

I’m a fan of buying cheap, buying used, buying generic…except for shoes, mattresses and tires.

If it separates me from the earth, I’m buying the best I can afford.
