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.
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.
