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.

Guild Wars 2 game for PC. 10.000 hours in (yes, I’m addicted!), and still rocking. Thousands of players, new expansion next month, and the base game plus the 3 first expansions only cost 33€, no subscription fee.

This is the first thing I thought of too when I saw the thread. Despite splurging on the special edition when it came out, plus getting pre-order deluxe versions of every expac, I have gotten a ludicrous amount of value from it over the past decade. It's a social platform and a nice escape and been so worth the money. For the amount of time I've played, the dollar to hour ratio is probably a fraction of a cent.

Agreed! It's fantastic value for money if you enjoy the gameplay. Being able to fire up the game and drop back in at any point with the same gear and no re-subbing fee is top tier.

I have been playing since GW1 in 2005. I really love the series and the amount of value I have got out of them, including friendships, its incredible. The aesthethic of the world has always been awesome.
