Although I do love my cordless drill as well. And my first cheap community college 2-year diploma which got my career goin, the jury is still out on whether the masters degree was worth it.

- A corporation. Not like "I'm rich and I bought a whole existing business". Having a lawyer create an empty corporation and then buying it, so I can start a business. It was under two thousand bucks, not even the most expensive item on this list. Made back many times the cost.
- The Huawei D15 is a good laptop at an excellent price. It's paid itself off many times over.
- The Honda Air Blade 125cc 2021 model. Reliable transport at an excellent price, that has paid itself off several times over.
I also bought a used DSLR (Nikon D3200 for ~135$) to better document stuff I do, as a form of marketing. I pick up used, antique lenses for cheap as I encounter them. It's been profitable and generally great, but doesn't make top 3.

Just got one--a good, wide-brim, adjustable bucket hat. Shade during the sun, solid protection from the rain, comfortable, and not too difficult to make look decent, if not stylish.
Don't get me wrong, education, housing, health care etc have all been pretty important too, but hat wins.

I don't have a lot of stuff and not a lot of expensive stuff, but my top are:
-
Instant Pot. I have a tiny kitchen, so being able to do x number of things with one piece of equipment is amazing. Also keeps the heat down in summer instead of oven and gas stove.
-
Hiking poles. Got them recently, and they are a game changer. I've only ever seen older folks use them, but they got it right. Not only is it easier on my knees, but somehow they feel like they let me go further when I can use my arms as a little push forward.
-
Garmin Fenix watch. Keeps me motivated to keep moving, and it serves as a silent wake up alarm so I don't wake my partner in the early hours.
Honourable mentions:
-
A good hand-held flashlight. I use this daily for work and when I go camping. Also great at night when hunting mosquitoes in the bedroom.
-
A digital probe thermometer. Also used daily for work, and takes the guesswork out of cooking meats and things at home.
Nespresso Vertuo. Mechanical keyboard. Honda Accord Hybrid.
