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.

Dyson stick vacuum - vacuuming went from a chore to a simple, almost enjoyable task.

Snowcaster Snowblade - For 2-3 inches of snow max but when using it you will question reality as your back feels nothing.

My Galaxy Tab S7 FE

Very, very worth the 500$ it cost for a screen this big and bright with performance I have nothing to complain about.

Water filter, kindle (altought I hadn’t had time to use it as much due to having a mountain of unread physical books), iPhone + Apple Watch + AirPods, a cheap (5k euro) car to help me go between home and University.

In 2008 after years of being an hardcore Apple hater I had to install macOS on my Dell PC because of that nightmare of Vista (this a very long story so I’ll just cut to the end)

I discovered an all new world of “shit just works”, found piece of mind and started making money.

Bought my first Mac in 2010 and never went back. I also have P400 and a portable Lenovo running Pop_OS and Sway, because that’s part of the story too.
