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.

Mulberry silk sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers ($1.2k/set) - best sleep I've ever had, keeps me crisp and cool at night
Eames chair ($10k) - the best lounge chair I've ever had
LG OLED TV as a PC monitor - the best PC monitor you can get

Are you really suggesting a 10k lounge chair?

[-] Lemmino@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's amazing.

This sound ridiculous but vitra chairs are just so good.

I was invited to a meeting in a goverment facility where all chairs have been vitra. They look like normal chairs. Within the first coffee break I had to flip my chair over to check for the manufacturer and model (EA 118).

Since then I am seeking such a chair - in used condition. There is an entire niche of firms renovating used ones.

Didn't find mine yet but I will. You really just have to experience such a chair.
