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.

    As far as mechanical pencils go, I HIGHLY recommend the Rotring. Quite literally the smoothest writing experience you’ll get and it helps if you take a ton of notes for classes (it’s a bit pricey tho). I lost mine years ago and I haven’t been the same since lol

      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.
