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.

I've been meaning to get one of those for a while now.

I held off on getting one for the longest time. Just bought one and my god is the rice so much better now.

Start branching out with the recipes! you can do so much more than you think with a rice cooker. I use mine to brown meat then make a pasta sauce in the same pot. Boiling potatoes or other veggies. A lot of models come with a steamer tray for more functionality. I made a kinda shepherds pie in it one time. it also makes rice! I don't have an actual kitchen so my rice cooker gets a lot of mileage.
