Whether you have generic suggestions, population-specific suggestions, philosophical approaches rather than specific suggestions, or whatever, I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Don't buy smart appliances, they spy on you, buy an older model without a computer built in and use Sears or some other appliance repair company to fix it. It will be cheaper than a smart appliance.
Car: buy a Honda or Toyota and take care of it, regular maintenance and oil changes. Not that nothing will ever go wrong, but they're more reliable and cheaper to fix than many other cars.
Bidet: gets you cleaner and save on toilet paper
Socks: buy a bunch of the same type. Don't have to worry about them matching or losing one
Buy a storage shed instead of a rental unit if you have space. More expensive upfront, but you're not paying in perpetuity with no return. Also more convenient and less likely to get broken into.
