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.
Idk where Lodge cast irons stand on the priciness scale, but we got of them last year and i fucking love those.
They’re not expensive relative to ‘fancy’ pots & pans.
They are good.
Just so others know, cast iron does not have to be expensive. I have 8 cast iron pans and my favorite and best ones have all been found and acquired for no cost. I have a few specific ones i purchased (griddle, enamel coated pot).
Found pans usually look horrible and unusable but with a little work they will be the best pans you own and last forever. Look at yard sales, estate sales, community cleanups, scrap bins, grandpatents basements or attics.
