A handful of good fountain pens, a few inks that I really love, and good paper. Those are fairly small amounts of money, and ongoing purchases, but good tools that just work and make me happy when I use them are highly valuable to me.

The priciest pen - which writes amazingly - is not necessarily the one I value most. I get the most use out of a $17 pen, and a $25 pen - multiple of each, really, because i must have allllllll of the inks.

Doesn’t take much - or much money spent - to make me happy, really, and I consider that to be one of the few positive aspects of adulting. Once I figured that out and started focusing on quality over quantity in general, life improved dramatically.

I have a TWSBI Eco that I really love. It's not going to win any beauty contests but it's actually really nice to use. Of the 5 or 6 other ones I have, I use this the most often by far.

I just got some J. Herbin "Emerald of Chivor" ink for my Lamy Safari and I love it!
