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.

My first house. I got it for a song thirty years ago, bought it from a friend who had been renting me a room. It needed a lot of work and was in a city nobody wanted to live in. I rented a room to a friend, fixed it up and later my girlfriend/later wife moved in after he moved out. Yadda, yadda, yadda the neighborhood went upscale and now I rent it out. Now we live in the outer burbs in a house we got during the housing bubble bust fifteen years ago.

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

I would love to hear some watch stuff, I've started getting into watches lately and have a Casio Duro on the way as my first collection.

I have a duro and a tough solar. I have worn the tough solar every single day since 2018 and have never had am issue. I've had people comment on how nice the duro looks.
For my money, you can not go wrong with Casio. Indestructible. Classic. Jeans and a T-shirt. Can't go wrong.

CLZ Movies. It's saved me thousands of dollars (over the years) by not buying duplicates of my movies and TV series. I also know what and where they are and a brother can see the list.
