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.

    It’s funny how every time someone asks this question there’s at least one guy in the comments praising their rice cooker, lol

      No joke. Every time someone comes in praising their $200+ Zojirushi rice cooker telling me how if I really liked rice I would see the light.

      No fool. My in-laws are rice farmers. The $15 rice cookers are fine (ok. They’re probably $30 at this point).

      Also, reheating rice is not going to poison you.

        Fr. I have one of the cheapest, simplest rice cookers and it’s never failed me. Perfect rice every time, simple load, turn on and forget. My brother has gone through at least 3 of those stupid fancy “smart” ones. I don’t know why they need to overcomplicate something as simple as “cooking rice.”
