A barbell and weights.
There's this pretty popular weightlifting coach named Mark Rippetoe, and he is quoted as saying "Physical strength is the most important thing in life. This is true whether we want it to be or not."
So many of my numerous autoimmune disorders that had plagued me for years virtually disappeared in a matter of weeks after I started weight training. Not to mention lifting awkward things in awkward ways from awkward places while in awkward positions are has become infinitely easier.
Oh, and last but not least you look better so you get access to more boobies.

I gotta say this:

I didn't know what the fuck I was doing until I staggered in here 2 years ago. Now I still don't know what I'm doing, but at least I know more than the fuck-all I knew a year ago!

My 24" monitor really helped to change my life. It's still not large enough (actually to be more accurate, I need a larger resolution) so I'll need a ton of cash to buy a bigger one pretty soon (a TV won't work because it still has the same shitty 1920x1080 resolution) but it's a hell of a lot better then what most people have. Nothing beats a powerful quad core desktop and a large monitor.
Non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, which goes hand in hand with BEING in the present moment.
Wine aerator, makes $10 wine taste like $30 wine. If you enjoy wine, this is a must have.
Cooking meat's never been so easy.
Hummus. Unavoidable when dating an Armenian but it's a healthy and filling snack, usually dip other veggies into this.
Wrist splint, with all the time spent on the comp, I think this is a must-have as well to ensure many years of hap faps

Means I no longer watch TV on the TV's time and I don't pay for cable anymore
Turned off the TV years ago. More time for family, friends, and books. Leads to a much higher quality of life.

+1 for dropping the cigs + diet soda (I dropped soda all together). Also completely stopped eating meat, 25% out of principle, 75% to see how it made me feel. It's been 2-3 months since I've had a single soda/any meat product, I've lost 20 pounds and feel GREAT. I do miss Cigarillos though.
I'm still waiting to see evidence that there is any health benefit to organic food. Where is the research saying that it reduces the risk of any diseases? I think its one of the most brilliant marketing ploys ever. Being able to charge more for the exact same food products people buy at their grocery stores by creating an enhanced perception of it is pretty clever.
Sure, I get that consuming pesticides is probably bad for you. But that's why I wash my produce.

I'm kind of on the fence with the organic thing. On one hand, I'm skeptical because I'm a marketer by trade. On the other, a documentary like Food, Inc. is a pretty eye opening look into the world of massive scale food production. If you haven't seen - http://www.foodincmovie.com/
Organic strawberries taste WAY better, this is really the only difference I've personally experienced.
