It's more hygienic Also, buying and carrying toilet paper is not really practical.
Embarrassed to say but I use a normal toilet and sometimes I try to flush skid marks away using the shower head (from my bath-tub) in strong jet mode. However, this is often quite difficult, which makes me believe that the bidet isn't all that hygienic ...
Kindle - had one or another model for many years, but in terms of utility to price ratio, it's still one of the highest. Youtube Premium - I realized I was spending a ton of time on Youtube, both for education, entertainment and podcasts. Removing the annoyance of ads and not being able to just listen to a video while out walking is worth it to me.

Any advice (or links to advice) for something like this? I have been sick a lot lately and I feel like it's due to bad sleep, and I hate my bed, but buying a mattress is such a scam.
You probably don't need a base, but spending money on a good mattress is definitely worth it. I would recommend getting it locally though, if this is possible for you right now.
A flight ticket. The last one was to Madrid. But really every time I go on a journey, I am surprised how much it improves my life quality. Not only while I am traveling. But also afterwards, when I am back. The effect holds for quite a while.
A Wacom tablet, years ago, when I was working in the graphic arts. Compared to a mouse, the change in my daily ergonomics was astounding, because using a mouse would hurt my entire arm. When I switching to a tablet (using a custom mouse mode), the mouse click was replaced by tapping the tablet which saved my entire career. Although, fast-forward 10 years, now I do full-stack programming, so I don't use it anymore.
A Xiaomi Mi Pocket Magic Massager which I use almost daily. Because of decades of bad posture, I often have crippling tension in my neck muscles. After I discovered acupuncture, I realized that this small tens unit could provide a similar effect more conveniently.
Recommended way (if any) to buy in the US?
During Covid: an espresso machine (and quality grinder)
If you're more into coffee and are on more of a budget, the Ninja 12-cup makes an excellent cup of coffee. Combine that with Eight-oclock whole bean Columbian Coffee and any cheap grinder. I prefer this to any coffee-shop coffee.
Filter coffee made from a lightly roasted regional with fruity / tea-like characteristics is a world apart from a watered down Espresso. And really all you need is some filter paper and a pour-over filter holder, if you order your coffee pre-ground.
