This is highly individual, and I have some expensive products to add....
A good dedicated camera, since I got my first proper camera back in 2017 (a Lumix GX80) I have taken tens of thousands of photos per year.
Last spring I upgraded to a Lumix S5 with few fantastic lenses and it has been awesome, and with my S5 and 100-400mm sigma lens I have goten plenty of great photos.
To me my cameras are in my top three ever best purchases, all the things I have went snd done because I wanted to take photos have more than paid for the money invested, perhaps not in direct money for me, but in inspiration and enjoyment.
I am planning on getting the Sony A7 IV as a complement to my S5 as the A7 IV has much better and faster autofocus, I love my S5 for it's amazing colors, UI and overall performance, but as I often go planespotting I need better and faster autofocus.
Damn, that was a lot of text about cameras....
Time to talk about cars...
I bought my first car last summer after getting my license back in 2022 and living alone without a car for 8 years.
It is a 2021 SEAT Leon FR PHEV hatchback and being able to get to interesting places out in the country to get cool photos have been fantastic and really improved my mental health.
It was very lightly used, and has enough performance for me without being exsessive.
I mostly drive on battery and charge up once a week, since I live in an aparment complex we only have shared charging infrastructure, but since it is a PHEV I can still go far when I need to without worrying about chargers.
