Things that will improve your amount and quality of time spent with friends and family. Games to play together, vacations to go on, housing in close proximity or transportation costs, admittance to events. What has high marginal benefit depends strongly on your situation. I know one guy who had more money than friends, and moved to a town with his family and old friends, and then scaled up the blues dance scene in town (spending say a thousand dollars worth of food, another thousand or two in subsidized lessons, and plenty of time and expertise) and made new friends there. But this strategy wouldn’t work at all for someone in a different situation.
Plausibly, things that will improve your attractiveness—nice clothes, healthier food, a few sessions with a personal trainer. Or if you think you’ve got the basics covered, maybe efficient signalling by buying fancy versions of inexpensive things.
