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.

I bought a Sebo X1.1 vacuum cleaner when i moved into my own place in the late 90s.

I have had all sorts of dyson models and bagless & cordless is very convenient, especially for stairs. But nothing beats the brute force suction of that Sebo. Its still going strong today

An ereader that supports the epub format. Getting all my books from Anna’s Archive saves me hundreds of dollars each year. If I absolutely loved the book, I buy the ebook to support the author after all.

CLZ Movies. It's saved me thousands of dollars (over the years) by not buying duplicates of my movies and TV series. I also know what and where they are and a brother can see the list.

I travel a lot. So I got a really awesome backpack so that I don't need to worry about checked luggage.

SHRRADOO Extra Large 52L Travel Laptop Backpack with USB Charging Port Fit 17 Inch Laptops for Men Women (Black)

That backpack has seen over 25k miles. It's saved my butt a bunch of times because it has a built-in charger, lock, and tons of pockets. It's still going strong with over a year of intense travel. The best part is that it's compact enough to be considered a personal item / carry on.

100% recommend if you ever travel.

I would love to hear some watch stuff, I've started getting into watches lately and have a Casio Duro on the way as my first collection.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a duro and a tough solar. I have worn the tough solar every single day since 2018 and have never had am issue. I've had people comment on how nice the duro looks.
For my money, you can not go wrong with Casio. Indestructible. Classic. Jeans and a T-shirt. Can't go wrong.

Art supplies, nothing else compares to the feeling of freedom I get when crafting something and having tons of options for things to work with. I'm actually thinking of buying a cheap laser engraver next so I can turn digital art into all sorts of stuff.
