So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

A good laptop bag. As someone with a traveling job, I burned though one of them ASAP. I know this may not be the best brand but I bought a cheap TUMI off of offer up. This thing is a tank. Barely has any visible damage after downright abusing it.

I’ve had a TimBuk2 messenger bag for over 20 years. I had to email them to replace the plastic buckles at one point, and they sent them free of charge. That’s one less thing in the landfill.

That is another good brand I have heard of. I think I was recommended Briggs And Riley at one point and Saddleback at another. They were a little pricey for me back in the day though
