One like = one thing worth buying (for me) https://twitter.com/theorangealt/status/1316269958029078528">https://twitter.com/theorange...
1. AirPods Pro β€” $250

I do all work calls through AirPods β€” being able to pace back and forth while calling is absolutely great, and I will never go back to normal staring-into-the-screen calls. Also more convenient for music than any normal earphones I had.
2. A medium-sized candle β€” $10-ish

I didn& #39;t like candles before, but I& #39;m lighting this one often enough that it& #39;s worth it overall. Just nice to have it around for some variety. "Oh, nothing is happening, I& #39;ll light the candle then"
3. A digital piano with weighted keys (Roland FP-30) β€” $600

I couldn& #39;t play the piano before, and now I slightly can and it makes me happy. All simply thanks to having a piano around me for a year, somewhere in background.
4. A wine-tasting tour (in Ukraine tho) β€” $100

I went from "I guess dessert wines are alright but I& #39;ll never order them on my own" to "I& #39;ll drink wine with every good meal". I keep thinking about how good the wine I tasted was, and it makes all other wines better somehow.
5. Every fancy cheese I& #39;ve tried β€” $300–500 throughout my life

Nowadays I can go and pick *actually interesting cheeses* and give them to people and they go "I tried something new and good today, yay"

And then they can share [cheeses] further, so the sum effect is bigger
6. A set of great children& #39;s encyclopedias/anthologies β€” maybe $200–300

An encyclopedia is like a sales call, and the thing being sold is the world itself. This sales call had better be *the best sales call you can afford*.

cont.
I had an amazing math encyclopedia β€” a hundred essays about math written for kids by professional mathematicians β€” and I loved it and spent maybe 100hr reading it and being lost in it

I also had an amazing science fiction anthology which sold me on Borges and Kafka and Bradbury
7. Netflix β€” $12/mo

Netflix has very few TV shows compared to "all the TV shows that can be torrented", but it& #39;s convenient enough β€” especially with https://www.netflixparty.com/ ">https://www.netflixparty.com/">... β€” that it& #39;s worth it anyway. Plus, my friends and family can use Netflix for free.
8. Glasses β€” like $30 + two weeks waiting time

I have alright vision, I don& #39;t use glasses often, the glasses are kinda bad and make me look like a drunken intelligentsia member. Still worth it whenever I want to watch a movie or enjoy the world in HD.
9. Cozy plush socks β€” like $10 or less

Good for warmth, good for sliding on floors, I think "oh I might not use them" and then I end up using them ALL THE TIME.
