Treadmill. I live in a country where it's just not possible to run outside during winter so I used to gain some extra weight during those cold and dark months. Now I am in better shape than I have ever been during my life.

My house.
I started by looking at apartments, but after seeing a few I just wasn't feeling it. I've always wanted a yard, more space and privacy so I thought I'd have a look what kind of houses would fit my budget and found out that by paying just a little more I could get a small one on a good location for almost the same price. Now I own a small granny cottage with a damn nice yard, well, root cellar and a sauna in a separate building aswell as a small workshop. On top of all that my mortage payments are less than what my friends are paying rent.
Global Entry. Best $100 I ever spent, even with the headache of the application and scheduling interviews at airports. I only fly a few times a year and I’ve still probably accumulated high tens of hours of time saved from aggravation and standing in queue.
Best purchase? Probably my steam deck. Nobody else in my family really plays games and I always felt like my choice was either to monopolize the living room TV or retreat to my cave where my PC can be the only person that cares about me. With my steam deck I can play almost every game I care to try, and I don't have to be a dick to my partner who just wants to chitchat and watch bake off.
Best acquisition? Absolutely 100% the weight bench I got from FB marketplace for nothing. I'd go so far as to say that it literally saved my life at the beginning of the pandoodle when we were being super serial about locking down. I had just gone from a restaurant job to an office job anyway, so I was getting used to being a bit more sedentary and all of a sudden I had nowhere to go during the day, no access to the gym by the office, and nowhere to go/nothing to do all evening. I was probably about 5 minutes from trying to peel all the skin off my body just so I could say that something happened that day when some kind soul decided to put the bench up for free. Spent another $100 on adjustable dumbbells, then just kept trolling different online spots and picking up plates, dumbbells and barbells where I could. Now I can bench my weight, but more importantly I can sit still at work for almost 3 whole hours every day and sleep is a thing I do rather than a cruel joke.
E-bike. I hardly use my car anymore. Last time I filled up the gas was in March or so. I still have a quarter tank of gas.
