What are some of the best purchases of your life?
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 Zojirushi rice cooker. For years, I had been using the crappy $20-30 ones, and they just don't make rice as well. And they tend to break. The Zojirushi makes perfect rice every time and I've had it for more than a decade now.
If you don't have one the, the Zojirushi Vacuum Insulated Mugs are the absolute best. Keeps coffee hot longer than any other thermos I have tried. They even sell spare lids and parts so you can replace the rubber gaskets if they start to wear out.
I do! Also their thermos-shaped lunch box. I can pack a full meal--main dish, side dishes, soup, and have it stay warm. Super convenient if you like to have rice, a main dish, and a small soup like I do.
They're really just a good brand that makes good products.
I loved mine but honestly it works ‘too well.’ I usually put an ice cube in my coffee just before I would drink it so it could cool down to a drinkable temperature otherwise it would be still be at brewing temperature 5+ hours later.
Tiger was always my go to. 20+ years easily. Zojirushi is my current and it’s at 13 years going strong.
- some random bicycle long time ago, and is still working
- thinkpad x220 also being still used every day
The x220 will never die.
Love my Zojirushi bread maker. The best I've ever had.
I’m
stopstill hoping to find one at a local thrift store that somebody bought during the pandemic, used for a week or two and then donated because they’re not serious about homemade bread.
