For me, it'll be computers and electronics. And travel. But I'm also frugal so I like to search for deals.

I am also interested in BIFL electronics like fridges, microwave ovens, washing machines etc, but I realise that I might not find such appliances in the coming future any more.

What about you?

For me it's been about pitching my life to preserve my health. As someone variously challenged in that department, I've spent more on that than almost anything, not so much on doctors -though they do have their place (and here in the U.S. are shamefully a leading cause of bankruptcy).

For me that's meant being able to live in places/situations with low costs of living and access to the sort of lifestyle that supports my health. On healthy, unprocessed foods, a few supplements, on growing some of our food, on a couple dogs that feed my soul to be around. On a bit of marginal, undeveloped land in the sticks where I'm free to do as I wish. Also on the tools that make such a life possible.

I've little doubt I would not be walking around today had I not prioritized my life in this way. Probably not for everyone.

Glad to hear you're doing better. The perfect life is the one you like living. Thank you for sharing :)
