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.

    Managed to buy a house in 2018. The housing market is absolutely crazy and I feel very lucky to have gottwn one when I had the chance

      I closed on my house earlier in June. The market was rough, I pretty much had to move 35 minutes drive out to the country away from my job to find something that wasn’t a roach infested shoe box. Wouldn’t have been even remotely possible without my VA home loan. I’m still in shock I somehow own a house in this economy.
