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.
