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.

    Absolutely. People don’t realize how much they spend on coffee and energy drinks and it can be done at home for super cheap

      I mean, depending on the setup and the quality of coffee it can be… Not cheap. Takes a while to break even on a premium espresso machine and grinder and specialty coffee. And the gadgets… Still bought a beefy machine (used) though, because I want my espresso damn it.

        Yeah that’s true, but not everyone needs, or can afford a top of the line espresso machine. I’ve got a bunch of different coffee makers (french press, drip carafe, hand press espresso, keurig [which I hate], and just got a used nespresso machine for cheap [hate the company, but the coffee is really good and convenient]) and it beats paying barista prices for a coffee everyday.

        I still want a nice espresso machine, cause I usually just drink espresso, but the nespresso is satisfying the itch. The manual machine makes good espresso, but it’s a total pain in the ass and I don’t ever feel like fooling with it.
