I see so many of them around today but I am always skeptical of the scientific validity of them. I'm happy to pay a reasonable amount and I greatly value privacy. Main thing for me would be trying to improve memory.

Any recommendations are appreciated! If I need to go out and buy a DS and a copy of Brain Age, so be it.

Learn a language! There’s been a lot of research in language learning being greatly beneficial for your brain. It’s also an incredibly useful skill to be able to communicate with more people

    I second this. I hate the direction Duolingo is going in but it's still useful to me. I took two years of Spanish in highschool. Then ~10 years later took up Duolingo and have been learning more. I don't think it's useful starting from scratch. Also I don't think if you're serious about learning a language that it is a replacement for real tutoring or real conversations, but it prevents you from getting stale.
