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.

Android phones because of their open ecosystem and customization. Very easy to get all forms of entertainment for free.

For me, my Fairphone 3. I've upgraded the camera and changed the charging port after it got water damage, the phone is still going strong when any other one would have had to be replaced.

I have every intention to keep using it for many years more, before I struggled to keep a phone for more than a couple of years. :)

Well, you're in luck - it has just been announced that the Fairphone 4 is coming to the US. :)

That price isn't terrible. Thanks
