#5Commodore 64 around $600. My first computer and my mom bought it for me (we were struggling). We drove to a barn computer store like 30 miles away. Now I earn a great living through things I type into a computer.

#8My cats.
They were around $700 for the two of them. I got them when I was 11 or so.

#10For me, it's a tie between a bidet and a standing mixer. Both of those were utterly life-changing for me, and with both, I regretted not getting them years earlier.
