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'm thinking about getting a camry for my next car. My stupid 2015 Hyundai Sonata's engine died after only 80,000 miles. I was thinking about putting my fractal axe fx 3 on my list. Never heard of Warmoth before, but I'm looking for a good metal guitar like maybe Ibanez or PRS soon.

Here's my main axe which consists of a Warmoth one-piece roasted swamp ash body and a Warmoth one-piece vintage style roasted quartersawn maple neck. I did a lot to it after Warmoth machined it but it is SO perfect: 🤌🏼
