While being thrifty has its benefits, scrimping on things that you think you don't need or settling for less than the quality you wanted usually ends up being more expensive. For example, you think that you don't need a good mattress, but the truth is a mattress is actually an important purchase you should be shelling out money for—after all, you spend hours on it, and good sleep equates to good health. 

There are times when the things we perceive as luxury are in fact must-haves for your health, happiness, and well-being. Ivy and Cynthia Almario share why you need to truly invest in your home, and how it's actually a form of self-love and care.
