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.

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.

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

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

Latex pillows

Silk / wool quilts

A touch bar bin by Simple Human - sounds ridiculous, but I love that thing every time I use it haha

Zojirushi flasks

An ergonomic mouse - after trying quite a few, the one by DTX is wonderful

Tom Bihn Cafe Bag - love a nice bag!

I have a wool duvet with cotton shell and it's the greatest purchase I've ever made.

Genuinely keeps you warm in the winter, cool in the summer and it's very thin so you don't feel like you're suffocating in covers.

Do you mind sharing the brand? I would love to get a new duvet

Bambu lab 3d printer (~1600 usd). I have managed with other much less expensive printers but they give so many headaches. This one is almost idiot proof and i dont even wink about leaving it on over night anymore. Clearly one of my best purchases as it has engaged me into what i actually want to do which is 3d design, not constant maintenance.
