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 do have a Rotring pen that I found. It’s built like a tank and I love the ergonomics of it, but I usually leave it at my desk because of the weight and I don’t want to be the second one to lose it. I have been using my Rotring Tikky a lot lately.
For metal body pens I’ve been using a few Zebra Kado. I got the first one because it looked like a standard yellow number 2 pencil. Someone was flicking the clip and broke it off, so they guy be a new yellow one and a blue one for breaking it, and I use all 3 now.
When my gf went back to college I got her a Pilot Delguard pencil. She writes pretty heavy handed and it has a mechanism to prevent breakage from pressing too hard. She really enjoys it. I don’t do much physical paperwork anymore now that I’m remote, but if I wanted a pencil, is probably get one of the ones that rotates the lead as you write to keep an even line.
