My cats.

They were around $700 for the two of them. I got them when I was 11 or so.

I probably wouldn't be where I am today, emotionally, without them.

But over the course of their lifetime they cost so much more than just $1k! Worth every penny though.

True, true, but it changed my life. Maybe one of the changes is requiring ongoing purchases, but other things are more important, like companionship, empathy...

They contribute nothing and live rent free.
