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.

    A good pocket/utility knife and sharpening set. You don’t need to spend hundreds, but my favorite is my Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight. It has a 3 inch blade, weighs 68 grams, and it’s made of BD1N steel which keeps an edge very well.

      +1 for Spyderco Para knives especially if you can find the sv35vn steel. I can’t speak to the bd1n but Spyderco generally uses extremely high quality steel. It’s an expensive knife but it’s well worth it for the quality.

        I wish I knew they didn’t come in S30V or anything when I got mine, I would have looked for something else since I had never heard of BD1N, but after carrying it with me for 2+ years I’m actually pretty happy with BD1N.
