Hey everyone! I'd like to welcome you to humblebrag central. Post the best thing(s) you've ever purchased? Feel free to do multiple categories!
I'll go first:
The best thing I've purchased for the coolness factor is a digital projector and pull down screen for having awesome movie nights and the occasional N64 party.
The best thing I've purchased investment wise was my house, it's old and pretty run down and has given me some headaches over the years but it has saved me a fortune in what I would have paid in rent had I not purchased when I did and I'm selling it this year and the proceeds of the sale will give me a nice runway to get settled in my new neighbourhood.
The funnest thing I ever purchased was a trip to mexico in the middle of the winter where me and my friend stayed in a super run down 3 star resort (by Mexico's star standards, with all respect) and soaked in the rays and drank our faces off.
The best rarely used but worth every penny thing I've purchased is a gigantic tent, it's not a luxury brand one or anything but it's not super junky either, it was around $200 on sale and is a 10 person, me and my wife use it just for the two of us. It's larger than most pop up trailers and we can set it up in about 20 minutes. It's like having our own cabin with really bad sound insulation wherever we go and I can stand up without hunching over!
The best thing utility wise I ever purchased was a good mattress and quiet bed, invest in where you do your best work and all that :-P
NOW YOU GO!
