The best buy of my lifetime was my chukka boots, what was yours?
I have been thinking about some of the best buys I have made in my lifetime. There are hundreds of purchases I regret, from gas guzzling cars to steaks that cost a bomb and taste like leather, but it’s much harder to pin down what I would call a decent buy that I have no regrets over. Some things I would consider bargains, and don’t have any regrets buying, but there are very few things I have bought through the years that I’ve looked at several times and thought to myself, “I’m so pleased I have you in my life.” The one thing that does stand out to me however is quite a recent purchase that is just perfect in every way – my chukka boots. Not only are they the most comfortable thing I have ever worn (I would wear them to bed if my wife let me), but they are my most practical shoes; I’m able to wear them to go hiking, driving, to the pub or pretty much anywhere. They are made of hard wearing leather and are very well made, so I know they will last me a good few years. Other than that though, it would take me a good while to think of anything else that I am really pleased I bought. Give it a go yourself; it’s much harder than you would think!
