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.

If you don’t have one the, the Zojirushi Vacuum Insulated Mugs are the absolute best. Keeps coffee hot longer than any other thermos I have tried. They even sell spare lids and parts so you can replace the rubber gaskets if they start to wear out.

I do! Also their thermos-shaped lunch box. I can pack a full meal–main dish, side dishes, soup, and have it stay warm. Super convenient if you like to have rice, a main dish, and a small soup like I do.

They’re really just a good brand that makes good products.

I loved mine but honestly it works ‘too well.’ I usually put an ice cube in my coffee just before I would drink it so it could cool down to a drinkable temperature otherwise it would be still be at brewing temperature 5+ hours later.
