Some things, once spent, never return. While the world urges us to chase what refills—money, possessions, opportunity—this book turns your attention to the five essentials no one can replenish: time, health, trust, youth, and integrity. With clear-eyed analysis and practical examples, JD Arden shows how these non-renewables slip through our fingers, often traded away for temporary gains that do not last.Inside, you’ll find precise definitions, honest tradeoffs, and the plain signals of underinvestment that most people miss until it’s too late. There is no guilt and no perfect-life model here—just the real arithmetic of living well, balancing ambition with what can’t be bought back. The Top 5 Things You Can’t Buy Back is a guide to better choices in a crowded, noisy world—so you can keep what matters most.
