theragun
instapot
For the theragun, have you had success using on yourself or do you have somebody else to help?
I do both! It's VERY nice for using it on yourself though due to the handle shape.
My wife usually helps me do my back. A 30 min theragun session every few weeks is magic.
Quality speakers. I associate almost everything in my life to music so having that at home made all the difference. And I mean a real 2.1 or more type of setup, not just a portable bluetooth rig. Lets you extract the most from your tracks as intended when they were recorded in the studio whether it's the eagles or jay-z.
I got a solid set of bookshelf speakers (KEF's, 1" tweeter, 5-1/4" woofer) a while back and a subwoofer, but honestly the bass on the bookshelves are good enough I don't even use the sub, especially since I really don't want to piss off my neighbors (I'm already watching a lot of tv/movies with the sound up). Having a solid audio setup completely changes the tv/movie viewing experience.
$1,200 Jura Impressa Automatic Grinder Espresso machine.
I can't speak to the Jura, but a SuperAuto is a great call. I've had my Saeco Incanto for over a decade ($400 refurb from Seattle Coffee Gear, which is a great outfit) and there is nothing as nice as hitting a button and getting a coffee (well, Americano) or espresso in the morning.
Ergonomic desk chair - helps with sitting all day
A car that is technically advanced with features and performance feel that makes driving more fun
Macbook Pro (better than other laptops, imo)
Amazon Kindle (to read books, magazines, ..)
Gym membership (and subsequently getting rid of 15lbs), working out in general
Functional clothes, not just brands
How does that make driving more fun? I'm a stubborn manual transmission guy, and my bikes have all had carbs. Raw and basic connects you to the machine. They had a mission statement when designing my car: "Jinba Ittai" (The horse and rider as one) No amount of electronic nannies can beat that.

High quality, 1st-hand Bible
the only correct answer
i question the people who downvoted this post.
I recently got handed down a Bible that's been in my family for decades. It's definitely the most valuable thing I own.
Clothes that fit and you’re comfortable / confident in
High quality whiskey and learning how to like it. Now every time I visit home, my dad and I sit on the deck, pour two glasses and talk about life.
That's pretty cool bro. It's great you have close family to share life with.
KY for when my Partners decide to screw me on a weekend…
On the real though a Peloton. I don’t love using it but on days I can’t get to the gym a quick 30 mins really helps mentally at night to break up work.
A standing mat to supplement my standing desk
Also tempurpedic pillows
Nice restaurants

Credit card fee?
- Electric toothbrush: 5/5
It’s more efficient and effective in every sense. I can actually get done with brushing my teeth in 2 mins vs. 5. Dentist has noticed a difference, which will save me some money in cleaning procedures over time.
- Fun car: 3/5
Think like a top line WRX. It’s been nice but you get used it unless you push the car or drive a boring car on occasion and are reminded about the difference vs. your car. I don’t drive aggressively and don’t drive other cars very often. If I got a much faster or nimbler car, maybe the purchase would be rated higher.
Bidet
This has been a big one for me after going to Japan.
Bought a few gaming consoles (xbox and ps5). Great way to relax and de-stress after a tiring day at work
I second the decent gym comment
Yeah definitely. I had the all access Equinox nationwide gym package for 4 years out of NYC. Good times.
What happened?
The Gold's I used to go to had a sauna but they closed it and the new one doesn't which is sad.
Big 4k monitors for home office. Blows my mind how some offices cheap out on monitors when it makes a significant difference in efficiency, but at least I can get the best at home
Got any monitor recommendations?
I have a 47in monitor/TV in my home office and it is a game changer. Only thing I would recommend is getting a curved screen. Mine works ok, but curved seems better.
These are a game changer. I have these in my home office and it’s very helpful
A Toto toilet ( I am not joking). At the moment, I am looking for a countertop water dispenser, which should be a nice upgrade.
Stand up desk
Athletic smartwatch
Extra monitors to work with
A nice bike for cycling and errands
PS5 and a great ergonomic chair. And I see some interesting stuff here, giving me ideas for the next purchase.
A stand-up desk
Herman Miller ergonomic chair
gym/spa membership at a luxury hotel (think of ritz, four seasons, etc)
a vibration plate exercise machine that improves your lymphatic system
an automatic eye massager for falling asleep instantly
Could you expand on the latter two? Haven't heard about them before
A vibration stand is like you stand on the machine and it shakes in various speed to your liking.. it improves your lymphatic circulation and you feel amazing after. Here’s Amazon link:

eye massager here… it’s like a massaging machine just for your eyes, it moves around your eye socket and temple and feels just like heaven
RENPHO Eye Massager with Heat,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SM61FCT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_shareon
Gym membership to equinox
Coffee machine
Standing desk mat
Wrinkle free shirts
Warm winter jacket
Tempurpedic mattress, you spend 8 hr a day in bed
