Many years ago, a friend shared some advice with me: It doesn’t cost much more to enjoy a first-class experience. He was referring to spending just a little more in certain situations to get much more out of the experience. It could be a nicer hotel, a better seat in a theater, a better cut of meat at the grocery store, and more. He found that it often doesn’t cost much more to upgrade.
