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?

$20 Cabelas fleece. I bought one in late 2014 and wore it everyday for half the days out of the year ever since. It's overdue for a good replacement, though.

I also have two DE razors and for a while was intrigued by the idea of the cheapest shave. -Pennies per shave

My litter robot! I got mine refurbished so it was a little cheaper. Not only is it worth it to not have to scoop all the time and somehow still have a stinky house, it has saved me TONES on litter. I buy one 40lb bag for $20 a month and that's more than plenty, whereas before it would be at least 2.5 bags a month. All that and still I would buy all sorts of different scent absorbers and diffusers and good smelly type things to try and mask it and it never worked. So I'm saving about 30 bucks a month on cat litter and probably 40 bucks a month on good smellies and filters AND my house actually smells nice. Totally worth it, even with the almost $500 price tag for the refurbished machines. Just with the savings on litter and smellies it probably paid for itself within a year.

My waterfront property. I live right on the Chesapeake Bay and man it is just magical.

My AF makes it hard to go poo, so I guess me having to get surgery for it means it forced me to pay something for it.... ?
