Proper leather boots. I got the red wing irons rangers. Took 3 months of to break them in but it was worth it. Now I have boots that will last me half my life if I take good care of them, plus they fit like a glove!

Proper chef's knife and vegetable cleaver. Most of my military surplus clothes. A vaccuum sealer. Second hand books. My Traynor YBA-1. Some good boots. There's definitely stuff i forgot, i don't really buy items anymore.
Satellite water pump.
Initial investment is huge bill, but it pays itself off than monthly water bill.
Also, the water is clean.

Glerups. I wear them all day
Ski goggles. They protect your eyes in the heart of winter from freezing winds and keep your glasses from fogging up or getting wet. They're great for stopping snow blindness too. 10/10

Small foldable bathtub. When I say small, I mean still big enough to drown myself if I wanted to.
Along with that I also bought a suction cup phone holder for cars that I put on the wall. Hands free YouTube videos while soaking in almost boiling water.
40 bucks total for a simple but nice comfort

Got myself a samaung galaxy active a couple months back for like 20$ off ebay. Its a nice reminder to keep my body moving and helps lose some of the weight I put up over the years. I do however keep it offline now and just manually record my info for privacy sake. Looking to get a casio royal as a more general watch for myself this christmas and keep my active as a workout watch instead
Nothing really fancy here but:
- Clevo NV41MZ Laptop, a beast compared to my stupid T495 thinkpad and corebootable! Very hard to find.
- my roadbike, its very classy 2001 stuff, Campagnolo Daytona (this series doesnt even exist anymore) but its fast as hell and looks great. Just love racing through the streets
- that damn Jack&Jones Winter jacket I got 5 years ago. Already had a burn hole from fireworks, but apart from that I went through so much with it and its still like new.

- Kettle barbecue
- Charcoal pit + rotisserie
- Air fryer
- Small benchtop induction cooker
The top two have resulted in some of the tastiest meat I've ever cooked. I chucked away my gas barbecue recently. The bottom two are just way more efficient (and environmentally friendly, with my solar) for small meals, rather than the natural gas hob and/or big electric oven.

Reinforced binder paper where the holes are triangles and reinforced with tape. I hadn't had to deal with my papers getting ripped out of a binder/refillable notebook since getting them
Koss porta-pro headphones. And some vanity color ear foams just for fun. EDC.
