One dictionary has a supplementary definition
to: [ no object [ invest in ) informal
buy (a relatively expensive product) whose usefulness will repay the costwhile their usage example is faintly ridiculous, that definition fits your hiking boots or dining suite admirably An expensive pair of boots which last for several thousand miles is a far better investment than a pair at half the price which breaks at the end of the street.
If all of your investments are worthless, then why is it not worth it?

carnet tickets
If you travel regularly to and from London but not often enough to buy a Season ticket, the Carnet ticket booklet could save you time and money.
If you buy a booklet of either 5 or 10 single journey tickets and you’ll get 10% discounts on your next ticket, you will be able to pay cash on the next journey. My carnet ticket will need to be used within three months. Only at selected stations. Don’t forget that Carnet tickets are one-way, so you’ll need a separate book of Carnet tickets for your return journey.
