I feel like my treadmills have paid for themselves. I have had 2. The first one lasted over 10 years, well actually more than 15 years. I use it everyday.

Knowledge!

I was our car hunting yesterday for a friend. He has enough money for a good vehicle but it will be a fairly cheap one.The skills needed to deal with the type of salesmen we came across are invaluable.

We'll find a good buy, but it's going to take some looking. For someone without the knowledge it would be almost impossible. I guess that's why they have to buy new and put up with the depreciation cost.

Enjoy Your Money

my internet connection fees! Without the internet I would pay tons more for items since I can compare prices without driving store to store and also free shipping at many stores! The website I have makes me money! The valuable information you find like freebies, price deals, etc.

Front load washer/dryer is paying for itself in water bills.

Tankless water heater (not purchased yet, but will soon) by using much less energy and you are not heating the water just to sit in the pipes and cool.

And the most suprising one I have not seen anyone say....drumroll please

College Education!!!!!!!!!
I am on my way to getting mine and I am sure it will pay for itself several times over!
