Yeah there's stuff I can think of that I would much rather spend $500 on than a new hot water heater.
A hot water heater is potentially a bomb and needs to be cared for properly.
I recommend a magnesium anode, ball valve drain and if it's electric only put a straight element in the bottom, change the magnesium anode every 2 to 3 years.
