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 tried having a bidet a couple times, but I ended up having issues with certain delicate skin becoming cracked and bleeding. Not sure what the cause was, but no bidet for me.

        No. I was saying that the use of (clean) water to rinse my vulva after urinating was throwing off the ph balance of the vulval area (either because of the chemicals in the water or the water itself). This was causing my labia to become extremely irritated and overly delicate, which led to discomfort and bleeding.

        Edited to add: and before you ask “how is it different from showering?” Showering is once a day (twice at most if necesarry), using a bidet is multiple times a day. It makes a difference.
