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.

    Aww yeah, another Pinecil user! Coming from a cheapo non temp controlled iron I got over a decade ago I kept eyeing the bigger setups, but I lack the space to set it up and I lack the funds to make it worth given that I don’t solder things on a daily basis. Turns out that for my specific needs Pinecil is a significantly better option. I still could use a heatgun, but again the use would be so rare and a hairdryer works in all but the most niche cases (at which point I just ask someone who has one to borrow).

    I also got their usb power supply with charges my desk devices (and includes a wireless pad that charges my earbuds). Super cheap, super small, and does everything I need it to.
