What are some of the best purchases of your life? - eviltoast

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.

    The NEXUS is cheaper than PreCheck, and it gives you NEXUS, PreCheck, and GlobalEntry privileges. I have no idea why the deal is so good, but if you’re in driving distance of Canada, it’s totally worth it.

      Global Entry is generally better, save for I believe driving privileges at the Canadian border, and since most people get any of the three for free you may as well get GE.

          Sorry, yeah that. I think one or two comes with it with no annual fee too, but if you travel enough to make use of GE, it’s prob worthwhile to get an annual fee one as well
