Put your money where you spend your time. Don't spend money on something if you won't be using it.

You spend a lot of time sleeping, so get a nice, comfortable mattress. Spend a lot of time on your feet at work? Get durable, comfortable shoes/boots, and maybe some nice insoles so you don't limp back to your car from pain. Spend a lot of time playing a F2P video game? Go ahead and buy that DLC or cosmetic item to make it more fun, and support the devs to keep the game going.

The list can go on, but before any non-trivial purchase, I ask myself how much time I will spend using it.

I dropped 200 euros on a split ergonomic keyboard and it fixed my shoulder pain from typing excessively.

Could i ask you which keyboard did you buy? I'm thinking of taking one myself

Kinesis advantage 2. It's weird to type on to begin with but it was worth it for me.
