For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

Published

Ok, I know we should be frugal after we graduate and invest in retirement, pay off debt and student loans, etc. However, for a little fun, what kinds of things do you look forward to buying after you graduate and are working as a nurse?

For me: a Dyson vacuum cleaner ($500) and a set of NARS blushes ($200), the best blush on the planet. I've also been fixated on buying a Mini Cooper:

I suspect I'll buy the Dyson and NARS, but the Mini Cooper may just not be a good financial choice.

So what do you all want to buy?

a whirlpool tub! I just can't imagine how relaxing life would be if you took a whirlpool bath every day.

Specializes in L&D/Maternity nursing.

a house. My husband and I are waiting til I graduate to do so.

Hmmmm............. some nice clothes, a nice lil car, a nice place to live, pay off that school debt..... hope that's not too much lol

Specializes in acute care.

I want a new, more feminine looking wardrobe. And I'd like to take a cooking class, just for fun. Wow, Im boring.

And - A brand stinkin' new Nissan Skyline GT-R for my hubby!!! His dream car!!!

Specializes in CDI Supervisor; Formerly NICU.

  1. I want a job in a nursery or Nicu.
  2. Preferably back in beautiful East Texas or Austin. I miss my family and hate living on the border with Mexico.
  3. Build a house...sick of living in apartment. Wife and I have had plans drawn up for a few years, and just haven't been settled long enough yet to build it.
  4. New BMW 7 series Sedan - wife and I take many, many roadtrips, and I'm finally old enough to get away with driving a big old boat for comfort.
  5. Male English Bulldog puppy.

Being married to an RN with 25 years experience will help with these goals. :)

Wow how much are they?

Wow how much are they?

OH... not much... only around $80K!!! (he's going to be dreaming for a LONG time!)

OH... not much... only around $80K!!! (he's going to be dreaming for a LONG time!)

That is a lot!!!!!

The benefits of owning that car are awesome. Definately worth owning.

Plus, cars like these don't depreciate much. Take care of it and in 20 years it will STILL be worth a lot.

That is a lot!!!!!

You're not kidding - that's why it's his 'dream car'. Although he does probably have the largest die-cast collection!

Yeah, but in terms of performance for price, its downright cheap. The engineers at Nissan went completely crazy and managed to produce a car that almost seems to defy the laws of physics. You could almost think of this one as the messiah of Japanese sports cars....

It managed to lap Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:29, which is just downright scary fast [F1 drivers are practically the only ones brave/stupid enough manage that kind of time]. To put that into perspective, there are only 5 production cars that have ever beat that: The Pagani Zonda F, Ferrari Enzo, Maserati MC12 [all $600K+], Corvette Z06 ZR1, and the Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR [both of which cost $100k+].

[i'm sure most people here won't really be that interested in this, but my point is, the price is more than justified.]
