Judging by how high my To Be Read pile is, I shouldn’t ever buy another book. But I will.
I probably won’t ever buy another BluRay though. I want to have physical media, but it’s expensive to own a thousand things I only watch once.
When my family acquired our first cat, the average life expectancy for an American cat was seven years. It’s now twice that.
Tripping on them becomes a concern for the elderly, too.
Have I bought my last condom? I reckon…
I will never spend another nickel on panty hose, thank FSM
I’ve bought the last jewelry I’ll have…not that I was a giant collector. But I see no need of it.
Whose life expectancy is thereby reduced, in direct proportion to the population of the cattery they maintain! 
Speaking of animals, I may never again have a dog, despite my great love for them. My current house is just perfect for a dog, with a nice fenced backyard, but I was never certain exactly how long I was going to live here, now mostly for reasons of age, and it just wouldn’t be fair to the dog to adopt one in the face of an uncertain future. It’s very sad because I love them so much and it would be emotionally good for me, but I’m sure as hell not gonna be selfish about it.
I love cats, and I rather like the idea of adopting a senior one from the shelter. I don’t know how long I have left on this planet, but I seem to be able to get 18 to 20 years out of a cat adopted as a kitten. I don’t want to leave one of my cats without me, so a senior seems a perfect fit.
Thank you to whoever suggested that!
Thanks to everyone who replied. I have no-one who I could rely on to find a new home for any cat I adopt, especially an old cat. I don’t fear death, but the idea of no more cats is saddening. Perhaps the ancient Egyptians were right and I’ll meet Bast at the entrance to the cattery.

I guess two isn’t “many”, but hopefully the current wedding ring is likely the last one I’ll ever buy,
A lot that have already been mentioned. Suit, tie, etc.
But this will be our last house. Not that we have owned many. This is the second I’ve purchased in my life. 33 years in our ‘last’ one, it sold/closed 8/15. Moneys in the bank. The new place we bought (basically a trade using the proceeds) is fantastic.
When I get too old to have a cat or dog pet, I plan to switch to rats.
Adopt an old dog? Shelters often have them.
Maybe you could arrange with a shelter to take the cat back if needed? Or maybe you could arrange with a shelter to foster a series of cats.
[thorny really needs to have at least one cat, and hates to think of anyone else who’s like that being deprived.]
Late fifties. My current car was bought new in 2016 and holding up fine - I figure maybe one more if I’m lucky.
My current cat is 19, getting a bit bony with all the standard litany of old cat issues, though he’s still reasonably spry. I’ll probably go petless for a little bit after him, but eventually there will likely be another (probably pair).
No more suits or ties, purchased or worn. That’s been the case for some years now. I just don’t and won’t do formal anymore. Never was a requirement of my job of 35 years and I dislike them.
New home? No, I doubt it. Barring financial disaster that somehow forces a sale, I think I’m probably locked in until whatever terminal full-care nursing facility demands my presence.
New appliances? Possibly, even probably. I replaced a few a year ago (range, dishwasher, microwave), but one can never say with modern electronics and the fridge and washing machine/dryer are quite a bit older.
Everything else…well, never say never I suppose. I still will (rarely) buy a usually used music CD, often something expensive and out of print. I last purchased a blu-ray a few years ago and I never watch my extensive DVD collection, but…eh, well, maybe. I’d say no more stand alone audio equipment, but I can see maybe replacing headphones/headphone amp. TV? Probably, at some point.
So for most things I’m not quite at the end. Getting there, though 
.
Since I now work almost exclusively from home I put my wallet on the dresser rather than keeping it in my back pocket, so there is a lot less wear and tear, I don’t know if it will last my entire lifetime but unless things change this could be the last one or maybe there will be another one.
“Where there are condoms, there is hope.”
No more dress shirts, conventional (non-athletic) shoes, perennial geraniums or freeze-dried mango slices.
And no more dogs, unless we happen to adopt a middle-aged one from the shelter.
I’m currently shopping for my last Internal Combustion car.
That’s my thinking behind getting something sporty: “Well, my last car might be self-driving, or only fit on a Hot Wheels track, or be powered by two Double-A Duracells… so this one is my last chance to get something dangerous.”
Many rescues need “hospice” fosters for older animals that end up in the shelter – often after their owners have died. You take a sad and confused animal, who often has medical issues, into your home so it won’t be euthanized or spend its last weeks or months in the stress of the shelter environment. The rescue supplies whatever you need and if you can’t keep the animal any more, they will take it back. This is what I plan to do if I end up dog- and cat-less. It would break my heart to leave my animals to an uncertain fate.
Rats are cool. My son had a couple as a kid. Only downside is they only live a couple of years.
I’m imagining that I’ll be an old lady strolling through the grocery store with rats hidden in my hair.
