One of the larger mental shifts you may have to make is being able to buy premium brands. In some cases it doesn’t matter (cereal). In some cases, it does (vacuum cleaner, dishwasher). You’ll need to do some research of course, but in a lot of cases the premium appliances, tools, and whatnot will save you money long term. It’s just not an obvious thing people think of when they have more income.
