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.

    I can’t not have inky blacks anymore. Projection simply isn’t good enough despite the massive sizes possible. The only thing that would be better would be a micro LED TV, but those are still insanely overpriced.

      Ah yeah, the blacks aren’t super important to me. I do recognize that as a bit of a weak point, but I like the experience of watching on a projector for some reason. Feels more… cinematic?

        It’s not really the black that does it, is that in combination with eye popping color. It makes the contrast so high it blows your mind. Cinema hasn’t felt the same since for me, sadly.
