For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • “Ultralearning” - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • “Enlightenment Now” - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • “The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing” - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I’m searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you’ve got.

    Air fryer

    Although it’s slower than deep frying, you don’t need to babysit the food and can use the time to do something else. It also much easier to cleanup

      On top of that, proper deep frying requires enough oil mass to maintain the desired heat. Nearly all residential units don’t have enough volume capacity to work as intended. Air-fryers though move heated air constantly replacing the need for oil mass.

        I’ve got a countertop two vat deep fryer and it keeps the heat really well (much better than the single vat ones most people have). The problem is because it uses so much oil each time I rarely use it, so it sits in the cabinet 99% of the time. End up using the air fryer for everything.
