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.
A hat against the sun ( 30 € ). It makes me want to go out more because I feel so much better when the sun doesn’t burn my head. I should have tried this earlier in my life. It is also better to have shade on my face through the hat than to wear sunglasses which make the colours look weird and were expensive because I needed a subscription.
A good kitchen knife and a sharpening stone (€80 knife / €15 stone). Makes cooking so much better.
A hand fan. ( 3 € ) At first it was strange to use one, because in Germany they don’t use them like in Spain for example. It is light, fits in my pocket, I can use it anywhere, it does not need batteries and everyone who tries mine buys one afterwards.
I strongly recommend trying a hand fan with eau thermal
It’s basically just water in a spray can but nothing hits like that on a hot day.
I have a tiny USB c one that plugs into my phone or battery bank. Works great.
