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.

    Guild Wars 2 game for PC. 10.000 hours in (yes, I’m addicted!), and still rocking. Thousands of players, new expansion next month, and the base game plus the 3 first expansions only cost 33€, no subscription fee.

      This is the first thing I thought of too when I saw the thread. Despite splurging on the special edition when it came out, plus getting pre-order deluxe versions of every expac, I have gotten a ludicrous amount of value from it over the past decade. It’s a social platform and a nice escape and been so worth the money. For the amount of time I’ve played, the dollar to hour ratio is probably a fraction of a cent.

      I have been playing since GW1 in 2005. I really love the series and the amount of value I have got out of them, including friendships, its incredible. The aesthethic of the world has always been awesome.

      Agreed! It’s fantastic value for money if you enjoy the gameplay. Being able to fire up the game and drop back in at any point with the same gear and no re-subbing fee is top tier.
