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.
Yeah for real. I guess it’s way cheaper to make that crap than natural fibers. Under Armor has done a fantastic job of making us believe this is some magic material
If we’re talking about shitty materials and effective marketing, I think Lululemon takes the absolute cake. I’m shocked that the company hails from hippy dippy Vancouver, which is supposedly full of eco-warriors (it is, I’ve been to Vancouver, and those people are awesome, but Lululemon is just full of shit).
My brother swears by their ABC pants, but I have some similar ones from Costco that cost $15 and are just as good. My wife loves their yoga pants too, but they’re so overpriced it’s ridiculous.
