You got what, 3 months?I used to purchase quality guns and tools. What have your investments been?
Today, I lowered my expectations. I only bought a 1/2 gallon of milk. Never know at my age and condition.

Well, I hate cheap tools. I have never been sorry I bought quality. That does not necessarily mean the best or most expensive; it has to match the intended use and, of course, budget.
I took a leap going from my old neighborhood to current one in the 1990's. Bought the worst house in town. Worked out well in many regards. I bought it for the right reasons, including the rest of my life.

I KNEW it!
Small cap mutual funds.
Invest in knowledge because they can’t take it away.
Invest in your children so when you get old and forget you have someone with knowledge around to help.

In 2017 I put a steel roof on the cottage. That should last the rest of my life. It will certainly last long enough to be my kids' problem next time.

Investments have been AMZN, MSFT, META, GOOG, NVDA, TSM, Small Cap ETF, a variety of cannabis stocks CGC, ACB, etc. I'll buy AAPL is it holds 168-169, I'll buy TSLA if it holds 161, and then advances and holds 180.
I still own stock that I bought in 1981.
I don't have many things that will last my life, but I am the person to "buy once, cry once". It's rare I regret a purchase.
This isn't anything that would last me the rest of my life, but when I budgeted $800 for a laptop instead of $400-500, I became much happier with my purchases, and they lasted a lot longer and haven't required me to dig into the innards to re-apply thermal compound, blah blah blah. Lesson learned, I will not be a bottom feeder for laptops again.
