Now I'm older and don't care for fashion shit, I just buy good quality clothes that last a while. Luckily nice men's fashion doesn't need to get updated so often. Good fitting jeans and a good fitting black tshit is more then enough.

My great revelation of the last few years is to spend three times more on something that lasts ten times longer. Without giving them free advertising, a great example of this is the old UK-based coat company that will repair any aspect of the coat for a nominal fee for the rest of its life.

Nice office chairs are worth their price. The $80 chair lasts for like a year. $150-$200 bumps up to like 2, maybe 3 years. Not much better than $80 at a per year cost. The $1k office chair? I'm not sure on the upper limit, but you can buy a decade old one that basically looks like new for $400.
