I recently came across a post that made me think. It talked about how IT professionals buy gadgets with the best specs – the most powerful laptop, a chair with a million settings – because they spend 30-40% of their lives working. And yet, they often wear the most basic clothes 24/7 – clothes that were either given to them for free or bought five years ago.

And you know what? It perfectly describes me. I still wear the pants I bought for 300 rubles at a Chinese market... back in 2012.

For clarity: here's a photo. On the left, I'm wearing those pants in the spring of 2012. On the right, I am now. Yes, those are the same pants. They've lasted longer than most of my gadgets.

And then I started to wonder: is this thriftiness, sentimentality, or just laziness? How many other people still wear clothes that have lasted longer than the average lifespan of a smartphone? Tell me, what are your "everlasting" items that you still have with you?
