My bookbag and also my Thinkpad T530 which is in my bookbag. I bought it for $99 at a goodwill and honestly it's slowing down but it's still the best laptop I've ever had. I just want this exact model with better specs

A pair of shoes of proper width EE. My feet are fairly wider than average, and suffered for years in improper width footwear. Never thought my feet could actually feel comfortable in footwear ever.

I was browsing comments to see if this has been said. People have wider feet than they think and really good pair of well fitting shoes makes a big difference. I use New Balance as my daily drivers and for work I wear insulated Timberlands in the winter and Reebok tactical boots in the summer. Game changer when you have comfortable shows.

My Sony noise cancelling headphones (XM3). I love them and use them every single day. And also my wall mounted pull-up bar.

Treadmill. I live in a country where it's just not possible to run outside during winter so I used to gain some extra weight during those cold and dark months. Now I am in better shape than I have ever been during my life.

Good on you!!

A 2.5" hard drive enclosure for 15$. 2.5" hdds are pretty cheap nowadays with pretty sizable capacity, got a 1tb toshiba for 30$, making them perfect for backups. Toshiba and western digital are the brands to look for. 2nd best purchase would be my digital license for cryptomator on android, encrypted cloud backups for most of the providers.

Thanks! Although I proposed 15 years ago and we've been married 13 :)

My Elora ratchet set, bought in '99, used it on all daily drivers and hobby cars, saved me loads of cash on car maintenance. (And several jobs in the house) still going strong, although both ratchets need maintenance.

Creative sbs 370 2.1 speakers; using it for 19 years. The sound quality is the same as day 1.

The wired remote stopped working after 15 years, so I cut it off and connected the wires.

After seeing your comment I went and checked when I got my Logitech X-540 set, not quite as long, 14 years, but also still going strong. Probably far from ideal for an audiophile, but they've been fantastic for my needs and can still blast out great sound when they need to. Been hooked up to whatever media centre setup is on my TV since I got them, in fact they've been the only consistently connected piece of tech in that system in 14 years. Literally everything else has changed multiple times.
