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.

Alfred app for Mac. It is kind of a spotlight replacement for Mac but so much more. Think of it as turning your machine into productivity powerhouse where you are using the keyboard to access everything very quickly instead of wasting your time clicking around with the mouse. It is like a Swiss army knife where even just one of its features is a whole app for other people. I use it all day everyday for the past decade. And I keep adding to it new workflows or discovering new features. It is the app that is a million apps in one.

An elliptical machine, if you have space for it.

Maybe a controversial one:

Macbook (or any Mac for that matter)

I don't mind paying the premium because they just work. I've owned 3 over the last 10 years and each are still running perfectly to this day. No need to ever do anything to them. It helps that I'm not much of a gamer and work in the creative field so they offer everything I need. The M series chips are also blazing fast.

I can totally see how they'd not work for a lot of people though, and I know lots of people love to tinker with PCs!

Standing desk (electric, not crank operated) + tiny under-desk stationary bike. Sitting the whole day working/gaming and still getting to do some physical activity is great.

3D printer (I've got Prusa MK4+MMU3). It's an amazing versatile utility, great skill to have, and a fun hobby. Don't buy cheap chinese clones, it's not worth the hassle.
