What are some of the best purchases of your life? (lemmy.world)

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.

Calf stretcher for $50. It cures my plantar fasciitis allowing me to work out, allowing me to not be depressed, allowing me to stay alive.

My 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro. It's both the best (and worst) purchase I've ever made.

On one hand - that thing is the reason I got into working in creative jobs (3D, video editing, etc). On the other hand - it's the worst computer I've ever owned. I've had it for the past 4 years and I'm already planning on replacing it next month.

Judging by the answers, nobody’s heard of global warming, overshooting planetary limits, etc. Oh well…

Bitcoin. It'll pay off in the long run, trust me.
