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.

A Kawasaki ninja 650. It might not sound like much. But, its given me something to look forward too. Before I was really lost. I thought life just isn't worth living. But now? I still feel like that. But, its given me such a sense of freedom, and, whilst I haven't actually met any other bikers yet. It just feels a lot nicer. Like, when I'm out and I see another, its just a simple not. But, I feel apart of something now.

I've been riding around 2 weeks now. But I still get giddy when I ride. I love it. More than anything I've had before. And I haven't felt like this since I was with my first gf.

This became quite long. Sorry.

It certainly isn't a bad bike by any means, fun as hell to ride as well. I also love riding, we have a big group now and go away for a weekend of riding ever so often. Just feels like a mini holiday everytime.

I don't know where your based, but expect me to wave when we meet!

Man, that honestly sounds so good.

I'll nod to everyone or return a wave. Stay safe out there, mate.
