For me it has to be:
- Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
- Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
- Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
- 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)
- 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.
Vivo brand monitor arms, the simple pole clamp ones. 40 bucks give or take, I’ve had them for 6+ years and they should last for another 10+ I would think, awesome value.
Sennheiser Momentum 3 wired headphones. Used and abused, replaced the cord and ear cups after about 3-4 years for 35 bucks total and they work as well now as they did brand new. Sound is great, they are comfy too.
Sony A6000 camera. Works great, awesome pictures.
IFixit multi-bit screwdriver set with the hard case. Had it for around a decade so far. Nothing broken, nothing worn out. Use it all the time on computers, furniture, electronics, etc. Plan on having it for another 10 years easily.
Steam Deck. Best general purpose gaming handheld out there. Moddable, repairable, high quality, super fun, runs everything I want.
The iFixit toolkits are so damn good. My girlfriend got me a Pro Tech one for Christmas a few years ago and it’s been by far the most useful toolkit I’ve ever had. I’ve since gotten a few smaller ones to stash in various bags.
Right on! Great gift.
Man a good pair of headphones goes such a long way. I’m still using my DT 770 Pros. I love those damn things.
Ikr! So glad I got them, especially after wasting hundreds of dollars over the years on various “gaming” headphones that kept breaking after 12-18 months of light use.
Damn we have the same shit bro. Except I have grados headphones.
Nice!
