I really thought this sentence was going to end differently: "If you hate winter, spend up on high-quality long underwear." Like, with "plan a trip somewhere warm." ;) I know that may not be possible for all (and high quality long underwear IS great advice), but my husband and I look at a scuba trip somewhere warm in the winter as an investment in all 3 points. It's good for our health, it's spending money on experiences & learning, and it's an investment in our relationship. Nothing against counseling, but I'd rather spend money proactively, doing things that bring us together and build our relationship, than skimp on that. (All that said -- we did not take a trip last year b/c we both had surgeries, and you know, those cost money. And time)
