People spend their money in all sorts of ways, and not all of them are the greatest investment. I mean, popping bottles in the club for a few hundred bucks might be a lot more glamorous than spending $15 on a cast iron skillet - but with just a little care, that skillet will literally still be cooking delicious meals for your great-grandkids!

Some of these items might actually cost you the full $100 while others will come in WAY below that budget. The one thing that they all have in common, however, is that they'll all help noticeably improve your quality of life and essentially pay for themselves VERY quickly.

On a related note, check out these gifts that last a lifetime, proving once again that investing in a quality item is well worth it!
