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.

Office chair - Steel case leap V2. Great back support, so many adjustment options. Bought one back in 2016 and it is still great.

Bidet - be civilized and keep your butthole clean.

All Clad pots and pans - if you are into cooking, invest in these. Amazing to cook with and will last a lifetime if you take care of em.

Espresso - Lelit Glenda. During the pandemic my wife and I decided to get an espresso machine. Feels good to make some decent coffee.

Zojirushi rice cooker - If you like to eat rice, get one. It makes amazing rice.

Nest pillow - I love these pillows from Nest. Extremely comfortable.

Nest bed

Upvote for the bidet, I got one a couple of years ago and love it.

Oh my goodness, the Leap V2 is amazing. I got mine customized a bit, with extra butt padding, new upholstery, and some rollerblade casters. I could live in that chair. When I work 60-70 hours a week, I basically do!
