A holiday, a new car or more comfort every day? Which would you choose?

When it comes to big purchases, we really need to weigh up the benefits of choosing one thing over another. For example, if deciding whether to replace a faulty hot water system, or to splurge on a big new HD TV, the choice is obvious – you buy what you need.

But how about when you’ve got a little extra cash that you’ve saved up? When you want to treat yourself to something to will make your life better?

When it comes to choosing between a holiday, a new car, or more comfort every day, then which one is more alluring?

If you’re anything like me, then you want to choose something that’s going to make you more comfortable every day – this one is a bit of a no brainer.

The car?
Unless my car is starting to play up on a regular basis, or is in need of serious repairs, then I’m not really interested in buying a new one. To me, cars are functional, they get you from A to B. So long as they’re safe to drive and relatively economical to run, then I’ve got no issue driving around in what others might call a bomb! I’m not about that flashy life! So, unless my car’s had it, I’ll rule out that particularly large purchase.

The holiday?
I love going on holidays. Weekends away down the Coromandel, a Euro sightseeing trip, visiting family across the ditch, and even a couple of nights in a nice hotel in my own city for a treat – I love them all. I’m also great at budgeting for my holidays, too. So if I’ve got a comparably priced purchase to make my life comfier everyday vs. a week long trip to Thailand… Well… I can always go to Thailand next time, and just take a little mini-break down the coast staying in some reasonable cabins, instead. Holidays only last a short while anyway, after all!

More comfort every day?
Yes, yes, a big yes to more comfort every day. Let’s face it, anything that’s going to make my life more enjoyable on a daily basis is always going to win this race – providing something more important hasn’t broken! I spend a lot of time in the evenings relaxing in the lounge either watching my shows or reading a book. I’ve also got some arthritis creeping through which means that it’s important I’m as supported and relaxed as possible to ease those aches and pains.

My solution? The La-Z-Boy Apollo 3 seat sofa with recliner mechanism. Big enough for my husband and I to enjoy comfortably, this is one indulgent purchase decision I will never regret. And with a recliner chair and 2 seat option there’s something to keep everyone comfortable.
