Re: What things actually PAY for themselves?
1. My home refinance was not a tangible thing, but it paid for itself after eight months.
2. My hot water heater and natural gas furnace and programmable thermostat have paid for themselves, especially when a 1947-era oil furnace is being replaced.
3. My low-flow toilet has almost paid for itself.
4. My compact fluorescent lightbulbs have paid for themselves.
5. My rose garden has paid for itself many times over, if a rose is priced at $2.00/bloom.
6. Ditto DSL/Internet access. If I pay $27/month, hanging out here I can save ten times that much.
7. DVD region-free player. We save $6/release by renting from the video store: the Asian DVDs come out a week before widescreen movie release, and $3.75/release from renting at the library (as opposed to renting from the video store).

gotta ask jeeves that one. JK, Im an ass sometimes. FTA is a satelite reciever that hosts a lot of channels that provide another option over antenna broadcasts. Lots of channels.
Here's a funny one. I find my annual holidays pay for themselves. If I don't take them I loose freshness and focus. Every time I have a holiday I come back focusesd with enough ideas to keep me going for months.
