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.

ProTeam ProForce 1500XP vacuum. It's an actual commercial grade vacuum. True HEPA filters. Very user serviceable, replaceable parts available. Costs about $500-600 but totally worth it.

Dyson stick vacuum - vacuuming went from a chore to a simple, almost enjoyable task.

Snowcaster Snowblade - For 2-3 inches of snow max but when using it you will question reality as your back feels nothing.

My Galaxy Tab S7 FE

Very, very worth the 500$ it cost for a screen this big and bright with performance I have nothing to complain about.

Cross-body bags. Uniform black handkerchiefs. Good charging cables.

A Leatherman Squirt PS4 (keychain multitool). I think I only paid about £20 for it back around 2010 (give or take a couple of years). Endlessly useful & still fully functional.

  1. Atolla 5v 4a usb hub ($30.00) power really helped with my cable management problems and power up my PI from there

  2. LS 50x headset ($250.00) mainly cause it's triple connectivity ( Wired , BT , 2.4Ghz )

I bought a Sebo X1.1 vacuum cleaner when i moved into my own place in the late 90s.

I have had all sorts of dyson models and bagless & cordless is very convenient, especially for stairs. But nothing beats the brute force suction of that Sebo. Its still going strong today
