What are some of the best purchases of your life?
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.

Anbernic RG35XX handheld emulator ($70). So much fun and nostalgia playing the Sega and PS1 games I loved as a kid.
Hakko soldering iron ($~120). This plus good solder & flux makes anyone a soldering expert.
Electric leaf blower ($150). Clears the deck & patio in 2 minutes vs 30 minutes of sweeping. Also fun for cranking a campfire up to 11.
Electric leaf blowers are stupid fun. When the front porch gets all leafy I'm almost excited to clear it, whereas I used to dread getting out the broom.
In addition to #3, if a perspn can spend a little extra, get a decent mower. I purchased my push mower 2 years ago at around $500. It mulches, ejects, or bags, has powered wheels, and still feels really good. The mower I had before that was $100 and constantly needed worked on. Mowing feels less like a chore now and is an enjoyable experience...
Maybe a little too enjoyable since I'm currently sitting outside a friend's house about to mow theirs too lol
