Good socks and shoes. I've gad several pair for about four years now and they are still in great shape and still comfortable as ever. Also, WigWam socks are nice...they tend to last me a few years before they start to stretch out. Either way they are heads above Hanes type socks.

For dress shoes I only buy Ecco. They cost a few hundred dollars but they are so comfortable and they last. My black pair is going on at least  seven years now and still polish up like new. For everything else it's Soloman and Asics.

I'll never buy another new car without heated seats and steering wheel or navigation either.

Our Sonicares were a couple years and the batteries started to shit the bed. Used a regular brush for about 2 nights and said Ah hell no. Bought new ones on the third day.

I ride my motorcycle to work every day, and travel a lot on it, and my Sena S20 bluetooth headset/intercom has been the best little addition to that I ever threw down money for.



I can listen to the radio, mp3's, make and receive phone calls, talk to my wife or my riding buddies, all without taking my hands off the bars. Also gives me voice turn-by-turn for navigation so I don't even have to look at the GPS once I have my destination set.

My Das Keyboard 4 Professional with Cherry MX blue switches.

I can't count the number of coworkers who lose their shit when they find out I have a $200 keyboard. And I still can't figure out why they can't figure out why it's a worthwhile investment. When you type for a living, $200 is a small price to pay for a high speed typing instrument. Meanwhile they use the squishy rubber dome keyboards and drink the folgers the office provides...

And while I'm at it, burr mill for coffee ($100), electric kettle with programmable temperature control ($75), and Chemex ($40). I use all of those every day and would replace each of them with identical models if they broke. Ok, maybe I'd get a burr mill with a portafilter filler.

A lot of women pay a $3-$5 grand to hold their tits up. It's an investment well worth every cent for some women (and their husbands).

This +1. I was issued Darn Tough wool socks for my last two deployments. I have since tossed all of my issued green cotton socks. I go in the afternoon on Black Friday to Gander Mountain or Dicks to pick up a new pair or two, either Smartwool or Darn Tough, since NOBODY buys wool socks during the early morning madness.

Far better than Ex Officio, Saxx, or MyPakage while being less expensive than the last two. Yes, I've bought and worn the other brands, but 2UNDR is the best for c comfort and durability.
