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 had a Brother Monochrome laser printer that randomly threw and error code and was bricked. Printed about 30 sheets through it before it died. Threw it in a dumpster.

    Hesitantly, I bought a similar used one on Craigslist for $40 and it’s been running fine for two years now. I might’ve just gotten unlucky with the first one.
