1. Large internal hard disks and USB back-ups to archive a ton of information. 2. I registered for a free Canvas account on Instructute.com and now build courses to teach everything I learn. 3. Deciding that upgrading my PC's system unit would wait as I bought new peripherals, like 43" 4k TV as monitors, a better keyboard, a DSLR, etc. 4. Used Xeon-powered workstations, then learning to upgrade them. 5. Learning that the best things in life are free, like large-format color copiers on CraigsList that have a small and fixable issue, but are too heavy yo move without renting a commercial truck with a lift gate. 6. A VPN so I could pirate books and audio books.
