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.

    Paperwhite 3 is great, bought 5 years ago and has 300ppi and BETTER contrast than the newer models ;) When it gets old, I’ll just pick up a replacement battery via AliExpress.

    Can’t be beaten on price, especially if you don’t rely on Amazon (I just download books to Calibre, grab epubs via Annie’s Archive, then transfer a conversion to AZW3 via USB).
