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?

  • Epson Ecotank Printer

Has ink tanks so money isn't wasted on cartridges and the printer is actually initially expensive unlike those printers that make money back on ink catriges

  • Hammer Drill with the proper bits

Makes it easier to mount shit to bricks, goes in brick like butter if you're using the right drill and bits

I recomend Ryobi Hammer Drill & Bits

  • Air Fryer

I've stopped using my oven and only use it rarely for things that I don't want blown apart thst I can weigh down with a fork or spoon like Pizza for example

  • Refillable Japanese brand pens and mechanical pencil

I recently got these to aid in Japanese study and refillable pens are more economical in the long run

And Japanese brands go hard on the quality of stationary and I got introduced into the cult of stationary obsession with this

I'll edit my comment if I can think of anything else

Make sure you use that printer once a month. I let mine sit and the ink dried on its nozzels or somewhere and now it won't work. I've attempted to fix it with no luck. Was a great printer until that happened.
