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 a cordless vacuum yet, it’s an awesome investment. Got one from Costco that has a smart setting for sucking up pet hair and other detritus that typically lives deep in the carpet. I have no problem vacuuming daily now because it’s so easy to just pick up and go. I’ve also heard people with wood floors say that roomba has made it so they never have to swiffer a day in their lives and that sounds pretty rad.

Adjustable bed platform has also changed my life. Don’t wait until you’re 50, get it whenever you can afford it. I swear to god it’s a game changer.

I would love an adjustable bed platform. Any recommendations? Also can you use any old mattress with them?

To be perfectly honest I don't even know what brand I went with lol. I got the least expensive one to go with the most expensive mattress! What I was told (by the salesman, so this could have been just to sell me stuff) is almost all modern mattresses are fine to be used with adjustable bed frames, so if you ever need to replace your mattress you should still be able to use the same adjustable platform with it :)

Though it is definitely best to get same brand across mattress & frame -- for example, a tempurpedic mattress with a tempurpedic frame. I know from experience that cheaping out on the frame will indeed affect the lifespan of the mattress!
