An interesting idea... would not suit me at all, but perhaps it would buy a better life for some kinds of people.
personally - I'd go crazy without having a room full of interesting projects to do (I know - I've lived overseas away from my stuff before).
Doing multiple interesting projects, making things is what gives me joy.and to have multiple projects, you need equipment and supplies... and thus a house full of stuff. Haul it away and I'd just have to buy it all over again (which seems wasteful to me).
What can I purchase with $100 that will be the best thing I can buy to make my life better?
I've decided to budget some regular money to improving my life each month. I'd like to start with low hanging fruit for obvious reasons - but when I sat down to think of improvements, I found myself thinking of the same old things I'd already been planning to do anyway... and I'd like out of that rut.

Background:
This is a question I recently posed to my local Less Wrong group and we came up with a few good ideas, so I thought I'd share the discussion with the wider community and see what we can come up with. I'll add the list we came up with later on in the comments...
It'd be great to have a repository of low-hanging fruit for things that can be solved with (relatively affordable) amounts of money. I'd personally like to go through the list - look at candidates that sound like they'd be really useful to me and then make a prioritised list of what to work on first.
