Things ive had for years. my $10 unbranded coffee maker and my cold brew maker. I think both are going on 4 years now. one or the other gets used most days. its just easy to maintain and i hope they last a long time more. I like that you mentioned house slippers because i also discovered they are nice for hard floor. I use some uniqlo ones that i hand wash when i feel like it. I do think they were not built to last a long time as they are showing signs of wear after 2 or 3 years but i would like to get more of the same one. Most items, I do upgrade over time and sell the old or give it away to friends or donations.
Didn't see the cat this time. But another great video :) The water bottle trend nowadays is crazy, people spend too much trying to get the latest ones but they all do the same thing -_-
Thing's I've had for more than 5 year's. 1. A back scratcher, use daily 2. My cellphone is a oldie but still going strong from 2018 3. My travel pillow is a smaller version of a regular pillow not a neck pillow and I sleep with it every night. 4. My lounging t shirt is probably 20 year's old but so comfortable 5. My teddy bear that I've had since birth so 48 year's. 6. I've had the same kitchen knife for around 30 year's, still going strong with a little sharpening from time to time.
I have a good basic classic wardrobe of clothes that I bought back in the 1990s. I wear these clothes on a daily basis, I've been asked where I get my vintage clothing😂 and yes I have penny loafers that have been resoled four or five times.
I have so many things that I've had for many years, but seeing I don't have a car, and I walk everywhere, I'd say that my cross body bag gets the most use. I've had it for close to 15 years, and plan on keeping it until it's not usable...which probably won't be ever seeing it's a high quality bag from Fossil that I got for a steal at an outlet. It gets used daily, and seeing I'm a walking commuter, it fits everything I need to take with me everyday.
Nothing is nicer for a bag setup than an organizer pouch that perfectly fits that bag in a few orientations. Evergoods has this type of detail as well but I've heard only positives about Bellroy. I'm glad you made the video and truly get to use that bag consistently for years to come.
Water bottle…check Thule bag…check Too expensive to justify Hamilton field watch…not checked yet, looks damn good though! Completely agree, there are some items you could, maybe even should buy only once if you invest in properly, buy cheap buy twice as the saying goes. Great video as always!
Birkenstock slippers - hands down. I have bought a pair of slippers 5+ years ago, and have not bought another pair for home use since. They also do closed slippers and more formal/casual shoes, which I have also purchased recently, and I expect they will last me as well as the slipper has been. They are not cheap, but I know they will last me long. Another place where it's worth spending a bit more to get long term value: the kitchen! Kuhn Rikon knives and frying pans; Bosch brand toaster and kettle (each well over 4 years old now) and a set of stainless steel pots I got from my parents, from a brand called Peterhof. I also have a nostalgic/soft spot for enamelled cookware, so I have a few of these, including a coffee pot that are now 10+ years in the use. And.. last but not least: an old orange Dyson ball hoover, and by old, I mean It was some 8 years old when I got it 10 years ago! Had to change the brush motor twice, but rather a spare part than a whole new hoover! (I got the hoover for free, and the parts were around £50 each, so aprox £100 for the 10 years I've been using it so far, is not bad.) Of course, as with everything, regardless of the quality they promise, they only truly last if you look after them :)
Hey nich, bug hug from Portugal, can you give me some quick tips on how to save on gas, like go for the cheap One or go for the premium in hopes to not have engine problems on the long Run? Thanks for the help
I had the following items for several years : 1. Apple Watch SE for over 4 years and planning on keeping it until it stops working. 2. Good but cheap sunglasses for about $70- lasted over 8 years and recently needed to replace them as I lost them 😢 3. Good quality smart leather shoes, over 8 years now. 4. iPad 6th gen, I think for about 6 years now. 5. Multiple items of clothing, some go as far as 10 year. My only weakness is my smartphone, which I upgrade every 1-2 years. My older ones are usually passed down to family so at least someone else is using them for longer!
I had a pair of jeans that I bought in 1995. They just tore across the knee and I had to let them go. I wore them when I got home at night after work then more often after I retired, maye a few times a week as I have other jeans too. They were ,y favorite and I miss them.
G-shocks are amazing btw. I bought a G5600 Solar with the same mindset as you, one watch that'll go with me wherever I go. I got it 2019 and it's still running perfectly. Solar means it's almost ready for an apocalypse. I truly believe G-shocks are worth every penny.
Here are four things I´ve had for years, none of which I bought myself: 1. Phone: When I got it from my godmother six years ago, it had already been two years old. Back then I told myself I would use it until it doesn't work anymore. Still does what it´s supposed to do, so no reason to get a new one yet. 2. Bag: I got it for Christmas 8 years ago. My friend who gave it to me said she had picked it because it´s green (my favorite color) and when I said it looks so small but still fits so many things, she replied: "YOU can fit everything you need for a whole weekend trip in there." 😂 3. Bread maker: Also a gift from another friend. I´ve had it for about five years and we use it at least once a week. 4. A large trunk made of wood: This is my most precious possession because it's the only thing I still have that used to belong to my mum and it's so beautiful.
Parabéns Nick! You might need new slippers soon or at least more socks in the near future/Christmas but everything else seems to be holding up well. Most useful items owned for a long time. No particular order: 1, Asus Laptop owned for 12 years. 2. IPod owned for 6 years. 2. Workout equipment owned for 17 years. 3. Swiss gear back owned since 2009. 4. Water bottle owned for 4 years going on 5. 5. A landline phone 2 decades old. (No need for cell phone yet). 7. Office desk owned for almost 2 decades. 8. Clothes. With exception of under clothes, I only replace clothes every 5-7 years.
@@NicholasGarofola Thank you but I Idon't really have a home gym. I just keep workout equipment under my bed and have 'cherry picked' different exercises from the internet over the years developing a personal routine.
I’m loving the lion’s mane! Is it a coincidence that everyone was asking about how you cut your own hair last year…and to counteract that, you just stopped doing it? 🤣 you’re playing 4D Chess
hey nicholas!!! thanks for the cool new video. you (among others) inspired me to start living a more purposeful and intentional life. thank you for your content and your time and take care!
Cool down / wait periods really help. Set a threshold (e.g. $500) and force yourself to wait 10+ days before making the purchase. See how often during those 10+ days you find yourself wanting/missing the thing you want to buy.
So... you don't trim your nails? Don't have a toilet brush? Don't own a broom or a mop? Don't own a SINGLE tool? A FLASHLIGHT? !? I'm all for being mindful, but these videos are ridiculous. People choose arbitrary #s of items to own, and either don't count certain things - or simply rely on OTHERS to provide them. It's like being an "anti-prepper"... dude isn't prepared for ANYTHING to go wrong in the future ~
