What are some of the best purchases of your life?

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.

Dentist, not one of those thirty chair operations either. One dentist with one or two hygienists. Twice a year

Thirty chair operations? Can you elaborate?

I'm not the person you replied to, but for a while I went to a franchise dentist practice. They had locations all over town and every time I went the dentist would be different. They messed up my teeth. They botched a root canal to the point the tooth couldn't be saved.

I think this was the place that brand new dentists would get jobs before starting their own practices.

I do not recommend.

Oh, I see! For some reason, I imagined thirty different dentists huddled around one chair lmao. I've never even heard of clinics with more than like 4 chairs. It didn't even occur to me that you could seal the operation up like that.

But you're right, it sounds horrible, so I'll take your advice!
