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.

    My Steam Deck. I regularly refer to it as the single greatest video gaming purchase I’ve ever made. I got spoiled for a while by a Switch so i stopped playing PC games because there was no handheld option I liked. The SD gave me convenient access to almost my entire Steam library.

    My iPad Pro. I’m normally not an Apple person because I’m so rooted in the Android ecosystem but for my purposes, it’s an excellent little toolbox for sketching up writing ideas and as a little music production machine.

    Andaseat Kaiser 2. I spend all day working out of my chair and a considerable amount of my free time there, too. Really sturdy, large, comfortable chair. I’d estimate I’ve got at least 5-7 years before I start thinking about a replacement. The fake leather will probably start to go well before that but I don’t care.

        Unless you have a financial reason not to, it’s a great gaming device. Love mine and currently am playing Breath of the Wild and then Tears of the Kingdom on it to see what the fuss is all about.
