I can often justify buying nice things if it’s of high quality. I still own and use most of the nice things I’ve ever bought. What also helps is to have a relatively cheap taste. I think my 18 year old pickup truck is pretty damn nice.

Living in a two-story house is such a blessing - the stairs make perfect shelves for clothes. There’s a workout-clothes stair, an indoor-clothes stair, an outdoor-clothes stair, and let’s not forget the laundry stair, from where I (in theory) move dirty clothes up to the basket as I go upstairs, as well as the clean-clothes stair, from where I (in theory) move them back to the closet which is also upstairs.

Finances is one of the few thing I don’t need to worry about.

I still do though.
