Purchases that improved your life

What are some things you've guys have purchased that you legit feel improved your life? Things that made you healthier, happier, etc etc..

Looking for serious replies.. some days I feel like I should just have some more things but I never really satisfy that feeling.

inb4 dildos, lube, condoms, vibrators, etc etc etc


Try to include what the purchase is, the price, and how it improved your life.

My first AR15 in summer, 2013. Got me into shooting, which actually got me into the gun industry and my current job.

While it probably won't get you a job, time spent at the range is relaxing, and also teaches you a lot of control and concentration. You can also use it for 3-gun/2-gun, which is exciting and fast. Plus you can shoot someone with it if they're trying to murder you.

What part of "Shall Not Be Infringed" are you having trouble with?

Home gym during lockdown... got the basics but everything else is basically sold out. Once gyms re-open and stock is replenished or people start selling stuff they've bought I will continue adding equipment.

Saves 5-10mins driving there and back, so say 15mins, then find a parking space. Plus the gym is fooking heaving ever since IG and Gymshark took over, every girl wants to lift now so even though it used to be busy few years ago you can easily approach a fellow lifter and ask to work in, which I don't feel comfortable with females when their lifting with their buddy squatting 80lbs and I want to do 2 plates in each side.

Don't have to worry about opening/closing times (not an issue if you go to a 24hr gym), there is one in my area but theres very little lifting equipment and mainly cardio.

A Viomi robot vacuum cleaner.

Was extremely sceptical, but changed my mind very quickly. Definitely the best purchase I made this year, and it's only March.

Good set of yard tools
Good set of power tools (including pressure washer and air compressor)
Good set of common tools (socket wrenches/wrenches/pliers/screwdrivers/hammer/tool belt)

Having the willingness to undertake tasks with the right tool will save you tens of thousands of dollars over your life.


....and Im not one of those DIY or "home depot" guys that just loves to buy tools. I just understand their value.

Generally good tools make life better. At the moment the first that come to mind are:

Toaster Oven W/Roll Up Door and Round Back:

https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beac...6590572&sr=8-3

I think I paid under $50 for mine though. It makes my life better because it works well and most of the time my brother will use this instead of making a mess in the big oven. This is way easier to clean.

Plantar Fasciitis Inserts:

https://www.walmart.com/grocery/ip/D...artner=wmtlabs

I like to wear canvas sneakers with not much going on in the way of support because they are light, comfortable, they breathe, and I can get lots of colors to match different clothes. But sometimes if I walk in those too much my heels feel bruised or my arches get painfully tight. I working a job now on my feet all day long and mostly moving. So far my feet just feel a little tight in the morning but are good once I move around and warm up some.

Power tower. Use it obsessively while the gyms are closed.

Tiger tail + foam roller. Fuk u running muscle aches. These things are perfect. Also one morning awoke with a sore cramped bicep which was hard to move but rolling made it feel normal very fast.

Quality steel insulated water bottle by Coleman. Less harmful plastic usage and reusable and better taste/coldness.

I just got an electric toothbrush a week ago and it has been a game changer.

I thought I was doing a good job brushing before but this is like going to the dentist twice a day now and I only got the cheapest $30 one off Amazon, I definitely recommend.

Bought myself a home gym over the course of November/December. Quit my gym membership and absolutely love it. I'm in a perfect 5 day a week lifting routine now.

Nice.

And I wish that GYMS would do something like this with the cable accessories. Really great idea to use a peg board for them.

I've seen plenty of places where the various accessories are just in a jumble or left around wherever and you have to hunt for what you want to use.

Instant pot: $50-75. great for meal prep, rice and steamed protein for the week

Insulated metal water bottle: $20-30. cold water all day long and always with you. I have a 40z bottle and try to drink 3-4 a day

noise cancelling headphones: $100-200. great for travel, work meetings, etc. Lately have been using the ANC feature for audio books

foam roller, yoga mat, lacrosse balls, etc: WFH and sitting 10+ hours a day has wrecked my posture. 15+ mins of stretching and foam rolling really makes a difference after work and gym

Bluetooth music box

I listen to music all the time im home now. Outside, inside, doing house work, doing nothing etc.

A good smartphone. Im a lot on the internet and I need a phone that can keep up with me. I dont wanna wait 5 sec for a website to load when im browsing.

A small homegym. I didnt pay for it but I cant imagine not being able to train any time I want, alone.

A good bycicle. I love riding my bike on good weather. I feel so free and I live close to a big city, I can reach almost every place I want and if I cant, Im still able to ride to the nearest train station and continue from there.

A good PC. I still like gaming from time to time. Watching videos on it is even better than on a phone.

I live a good life.
