My Galaxy Tab S7 FE

Very, very worth the 500$ it cost for a screen this big and bright with performance I have nothing to complain about.

ProTeam ProForce 1500XP vacuum. It's an actual commercial grade vacuum. True HEPA filters. Very user serviceable, replaceable parts available. Costs about $500-600 but totally worth it.

Hands down it has to be my prescription sunglasses. I need to wear glasses all the time and after years of messing around with clip ons that didn't feel quite right I decides to treat myself and bought a pair of Ray Bans and prescription lenses to go with them. I think it was around $350. 3 years later the frames were broken so I went and bought the same one and had my old lenses put in. I will be investing in a new set soon because the UV coating is all chipped and whatnot. But as a quality of life upgrade for a glasses wearer I struggle to think of anything that has been better.

Rescue dog $60-$200. Older is even better. Best investment in your mental health.

A good pocket/utility knife and sharpening set. You don't need to spend hundreds, but my favorite is my Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight. It has a 3 inch blade, weighs 68 grams, and it's made of BD1N steel which keeps an edge very well.

Logitech G502 for all the programmable buttons. I’m left handed and use a drawing tablet for work and having all my hotkeys accessible on my right hand keeps my work flow consistent.

1. Atolla 5v 4a usb hub ($30.00) power really helped with my cable management problems and power up my PI from there

2. LS 50x headset ($250.00) mainly cause it's triple connectivity ( Wired , BT , 2.4Ghz )

A Hydro-Flask brand water bottle. It makes the contents immune to all delta T. Very solid product, highly recommend.

A Leatherman Squirt PS4 (keychain multitool). I think I only paid about £20 for it back around 2010 (give or take a couple of years). Endlessly useful & still fully functional.

Safety goggles (don’t remember how much) oh boy I would blind by now if It weren’t for those

Electric toothbrush.

Invest in your teeth. Trust me.

For me it has to be my tools. I'll go back to sleeping on the floor, counting pennies for gas fir my commute, get rid of everything else before my tools. Specifically my thin snap-on 3/8th ratchet and socket set and my cheap it tool kit. With those two sets alone you can fix a lot of things.

Though one of my best deals ever was a pretty good stove for $30, it mightve been damn near new. I bought from some young guy who looked like it was his first house, probably military by appearance and location, and they wanted their own appliances not the landlord grade stuff that was there. 8 years later, or whatever, and it's still great.

For time used over price it must be minecraft and my kindle, so many hundreds of hours on both of them.

To go along with the mattress theme, and since I’ve had two back surgeries (in my 30s after a car wreck), my sleep number mattress was a big expense but I was miserable and could never get a good night’s sleep before it. It’s been a game changer.
The other is a little more niche, but I’m a runner/endurance sports and my Balega socks have been incredible. They are $14 a pair (yes, $7 a sock), but they are easily worth every single penny. I’ve done 30 hour hiking/running events and my feet were the only thing still dry on my body thanks to those guys.

The good windshield washer fluid. The stuff that's a dollar or two more expensive. Rain basically jumps off my windshield, and I don't need my wipers above 50 unless it's really raining hard. When I actually do use my wipers, they work so much better.
