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.

    Ski goggles. I got them one year when the windchill was strongly in the negatives. Now my glasses don’t fog up, my eyes don’t hurt from the cold, and I don’t get glare-blinded by the sun. Best $40 I ever spent. Probably more like $50+ in today’s money.

      In a similar vein, I got some high quality mittens this past year and they’ve been incredible. I moved from California to Colorado recently and my previous finger gloves just couldn’t hold up to the Colorado cold.
