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.

Rowing machine. I use it Monday-Friday before work. Puts me in a good headspace and makes my workday feel less stressful. I’ve lost a bunch of weight also. I like that I can workout hard multiple days in a row without risking injury.

I love my rowing machine. I’ve tried treadmills and stationary bikes and they’ve felt like an intolerable grind. But hop on my rowing machine and I don’t want to stop. Don’t know what it is but it just works for me.

Is biking to work not an option where you live? You get the same good-headspace and exercise but you save on gas and car maintenance too.

I’m waiting for my rowing machine (birthday present) to be delivered. Should be today. It’s the kind you put water in to simulate the experience better. I’m excited!

Awesome! That’s the kind I have as well, although I bought mine used. Hope you enjoy it! I got into a routine of using it in the morning and I’m getting the best exercise I have in years

Thanks! I’m definitely looking forward to it. I’ve been using an elliptical, but it is killing me and I want something a little less hard on myself.
