Hey there I'm really stingy with money but I want to improve my quality of life with buying certain useful items, what should I buy? Could be wall decorations, games, anything

Plants. The answer is always plants. With colourful pots.

if you want suggestions for plants, particularly ones that are hard to kill and easy to care for, I have a few tips (and beginner care tips)

Someone already mentioned sheets, but bedding in general. I spent 3 weeks in Vietnam in December and sleeping in comfy hotel beds revealed how lacking my situation at home was. When I got back, I purchased a new duvet, duvet cover, mattress topper, new pillows and cases, and a headboard (my bed was just a frame). The duvet is filled with wool and it's been perfect. I live in Canada and the nights have been cold, but not one of them have I been cold in my bed. I even stopped using a flat sheet since the duvet is inside of a cover. It's been the perfect balance. I'm never cold or sweaty.

A nice set of sheets. You spend a good chunk of your life sleeping. I like to buy cotton sateen weave sheets with very high thread counts. They are so soft and comfy, and it feels so nice to slip under the covers.

I don't know why but having even a small bookshelf makes the space a lot better.

Decoration is not supposed to be useful, by definition.
I think it's interesting to set a budget and start noticing things that you like. Kind of random stuff that gets your attention for no apparent reason, just because it resonates with you.
And then you can think about how to fit more of "these" with your budget.
Could be board games, posters, cards, whatever. It's whatever makes you feel like yourself. Then hoard them in. :D

I recommend a humble Blahaj for your bed or sofa.
If your walls are completely barren then that's sad and you should definitely buy something to hang. If you want it to be practical, get a wall clock.
i don't like clocks
