For me it has to be:

Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
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)
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 can’t recommend a bidet enough. I’ve stopped using toilet paper all together and just use soap and a towel to dry off.

It’s especially amazing if you get the hot water hooked up to it.

Can you elaborate on this routine? I’ve heard of folks using clean rags that go into a bin. Or air-drying…

So when I first got the bidet I was using tp but it would get soaked from drying myself off. I figured if I’m going to get my hands wet may as well use soap and towel myself off, right?

So I have a towel warmer next to my toilet. It heats about 4 small towels at a time. Once I am done with my business, I clean myself with the soap and towel myself off with a warm towel (pure heaven). Afterwards, I hang the towels on the shower door so they can dry before going into the dirty clothes bin.
