Vibration Plate. These devices used to cost $1-$3K but now you can get one for $79 or $99 on Amazon.
Vibration plates offer numerous benefits, including increased muscle activation, improved circulation, and potential weight loss or fat reduction. They can also aid in reducing muscle soreness, improving flexibility, and boosting bone density.
Elaboration:
Muscle Activation and Strength:
The vibrations stimulate muscle contractions, leading to increased muscle activation and potential strength gains.
Improved Circulation:
Vibration plates promote blood flow, enhancing the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the body.
Reduced Muscle Soreness:
The vibrations can help reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercise.
Enhanced Flexibility:
Vibration plates can improve flexibility and range of motion.
Potential for Weight Loss/Fat Reduction:
Some research suggests vibration plates may aid in weight loss or fat reduction, particularly visceral fat.
Improved Bone Density:
The vibrations can stimulate bone growth and potentially prevent bone loss.
Other Benefits:
Vibration plates may also help with lymphatic drainage, improve balance, and reduce stress.
Gym membership. Eating more carefully this time around (~enough protein, clean eating - 1x cheat meal a week). Was a gym rat in my early 20s. Slowly getting back into shape. Already can lift ~50% more than I started off with when I joined a few months ago.
Only regret is joining an old gym I used to go to. It's relatively cheap (~$40 / month), solid machine variety but terrible management (many broken machines).
kindle. used to think it was the dumbest fucking idea ever, like why not just read from your phone? but it's actually insane how much I love it. I read sooo much now
1000% co-sign. Kindle OP for increasing your reading.
Lasik and my Herman Miller chair.

Hell yeah. Hopefully, you get plenty of time to ride it.
The carbon sled, enjoy the ride!
Got a cheap electric guitar to learn off Amazon, been awesome to try and play to my favorite songs. Was like $150 for a whole basic setup.
upgraded my gym, it's right by work so I can go way more often/spend more time now, and the amenities are so nice. makes my day to day better
Just ordered NeuroGum. Heard good things.
Read a bit about them - let me know if it's any good / works
After I ordered the gum, I saw there are mints too. I'm starting my MBA this year so would rather have a mint in class than chew gum, so will chew these privately. Joe Rogan endorses them - I bet they will be good.
I recently purchased 1000 caffeine pills for around $20. I will never look back
agree on this one, it’s quickest least damaging way of consuming caffeine imo
Tried this approach a year ago. Never again. Got the 200 mg ones and I almost had a panic attack. Maybe I'm just a pussy.
Just for Men beard and moustache dye. I keep a very short stubble beard that has turned mostly white. This is the only stuff I've found that can dye stubble with minimal skin staining. It's knocked off 5-10 years from what my age appears to be visually.
New house in CT, process is crazy. Not much inventory and lots of interest. You have to basically bid the first couple days it’s on market, and always a few 100k over asking price.
Happy to finally be house poor with a high interest rate just cause my wife wants to keep up with joneses.
Lol. Congrats, mate.
Bible
Which Bible? I have a few and the Navarre bible is my favorite. It was about $600 but worth it.
