10 Things I Wish I Would Have Bought Earlier

About this video

Centeno shares a personal list of items he wishes he had purchased earlier in life, covering grooming essentials like electric toothbrushes and safety razors, fashion items such as quality sunglasses and well-fitting denim, accessories like watches and caps, and practical tools for organization and foot health. He emphasizes how these investments improved his quality of life and appearance over time.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that quality sunglasses with properly constructed lenses provide superior UV protection and glare reduction compared to cheap alternatives, making them worth the higher upfront cost
  • Centeno recommends an electric toothbrush as essential for preventing gum disease and plaque buildup, and suggests adding a tongue scraper and nose trimmer to a complete grooming routine
  • Centeno advocates for wearing well-fitted, slim-cut denim rather than oversized jeans, noting that proper fit enhances appearance and that most men wear jeans that are too loose
  • Centeno suggests investing in watches as meaningful accessories that connect to history and craftsmanship, recommending brands like Seiko, G-SHOCK, Orient, and Tudor as options at various price points
