When I bring up the fact that it may be time to get a new mattress she always says "have you seen the price they charge for mattresses?"

However, they just spend 35K to enlarge the pond in their yard cause "it sure looks pretty from the road" and her husband plans on stocking it at the cost of a couple extra grand. He likes to fish.
I agree especially since we spend so much of our time in our beds, not to mention how a nice bed can affect the rest of your day, quality of sleep, relief of back pains and body aches in general.
