What purchases have you made that you truly made your money back on in the long term? Either cheap or expensive things.

Looking for suggestions more like a Nest thermostat that lowers electric bill rather than things that are “worth it” like a good wireless router

I’d suggest following this rule - do not skimp on anything that comes between you and the ground. A good bed, office chair, and shoes will serve you well throughout your life. They will also act as a preventative mechanism for what, in all probability, would be higher healthcare costs had you not made the investment.

Agreed. Even by cycling once a week, it already pays for itself compared to going to a spinning class. I think the on demand/live classes make all the difference and makes you feel like you’re actually in a class without the crowd. Way better than just a typical stationary machine.

Also highly recommend a vitamix if you can catch it on sale. I add a lot of greens in my smoothies and it’s blends just as good as the typical 5-6 dollar smoothies I buy at stores.

Decide to Start this bowl after seeing 1000 post asking about ergonomic chairs. The reason your back hurts is your sitting to much.

What is the true reason that people want to work fully remote? I understand saving time/money on commute and still being able to get the work done at home but I’m not getting why some just absolutely DONT want to go to the office at all. Genuinely curious. (FYI I work a hybrid schedule)

Can't help but feel like I'm in a rut. I'm 23 and realized I still haven't accomplished goals that I set when I was 20. I waste copious amounts of time on Netflix. I keep losing weight only to gain it back. I bought a standing desk and am still sitting on my bed to work. I told myself I'm going to accomplish XYZ certification exams over a year ago and started studying 3 or 4 times only to quit studying 3 days in. How do I stop being such a loser. I feel pathetic
