What's something people should buy today instead of tomorrow? (lemmy.ml)

Anybody know of anything else that would be quite wise to purchase sooner than later, due to potential (or incoming) regulation that would be regarded as privacy-infringing to enforce? I was thinking about this because I've been pondering a high-quality 3D printer purchase for this reason.

Advice for varying levels of budget would be quite nice, too; I partially intend on this being a post people may want to revisit.

I had an opportunity to buy a house earlier this year. Didn't feel ready, nerves got to me and instead of getting in a bidding war I kept my offer at the asking price.

The people who outbid me ended up only paying what my offer was anyways, due to the bank's valuation of the house.

3 months later and the house shot up in valuation by $50k. I could've bought the house, lived in it for two years, and still would've ended up ahead compared to renting smh
