I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

    Bicycle for sure. I’m going to get one fitted for winter and hopefully be able to use either depending on weather all year round going forward.

    Dishwasher. It might not have paid for itself in money but in peace of mind - how I hate doing dishes. It ruins my day and stresses me out, so not having to deal with it has been truly valuable.

    Hiking boots. They’re meant for summer hiking but I use them all season, but with studs in winter. Have saved my ankles and feet from twisting, blisters, heat and cold.

      For people who rent and don’t have a space for a dishwasher or you don’t have one included

      Desktop versions do exist but they are obviously smaller

      A good bicycle is what I was going to put. I was able to get rid of my car and dramatically cut my spending on rental bikes and public transit.

      yeah Im pretty sure every bike I have had has gotten its value worth and then some even if you use public transit cost savings instead of the more expensive car.
