1. Jeans

Sure, a new pair of jeans is cool, but you know what's even cooler? That faded, beat-up pair of raw denim you've had since the summer of 2003.

2. Cheese

This depends on a few factors, but generally speaking, nothing is as gouda as some aged cheddar.

3. Meditation

At first, meditating can be difficult and frustrating. But the longer you practice, the easier it becomes, and the more focused and calm you are. You'll become so chilled out that even the sloths and koalas will be jealous.

4. A New Haircut

Seeing a new haircut can be a bit of a shock, but thankfully, with time, you get used to it, and the new do starts to grow on you, literally! (Sorry.)

5. Wine

Much like how we get better with time as we consume knowledge and experience, wine gets better as it sits and consumes sugars. Finally, an excuse not to whine about something getting older!

6. Quality Leather Goods

There's something about how a quality leather wallet or jacket softens up and starts to radiate more character over time... It's like the piece becomes a part of you.

7. Relationships

15 years of friendship = 15 years of inside jokes.

8. 401(k)s

With time, your 401(k) will become more and more profitable, as will your understanding of what exactly a 401(k) is.

9. Technology

Long gone are the days of slow internet, waiting a day for a song to download, and that cringeworthy tone that played when you had dial-up.

10. Cast-iron Skillets

The longer you cook with your cast-iron skillet, the more seasoning and flavor it starts to collect. Think bacon is good? Cook that bad boy in an aged skillet. (You're welcome.)

11. A Worn-in Bed

There's nothing quite like the feeling of coming home after a long day and hopping into a magical cloud that perfectly engulfs your body.

12. Self-confidence

As you get older, you start to trust yourself more, believe in your decisions, and feel more confident in who you are — which is someone awesome.
