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.

    I spent like $700 for a 13" boox max and it’s amazing. Smaller ones are functional enough for standard prose, but stuff like textbooks and programming books that have more structured formatting really take advantage of the larger pages. I can’t put a single page of any of that on my older kindle oasis, but I can comfortably do a landscape two page setup with the max.
