re: What changed your financial future for the better?

I bought a pallet of 400 foodsavers for 1100 bucks back when 1100 bucks was a bunch of money to me and my wife. All told at 24 and 19 she turned that investment into 40k (we ended up with 1300 foodsavers before the supply disappeared) She sold them on ebay and that was the last time I really worried about money. Of course it doesn't hurt that our income has more than quadrupled in the last decade.
