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?

You do have expensive tastes - Pureology is $50 a bottle for each

The main thing I want after working some overtime shifts is a new laptop (had this one for 4 yrs and am ready for a new one). I would also love to buy an LCD TV at black friday

I would SSOOOO like to have a new laptop - this one was bought in 1998!!!!!!!

A house, A Nissan Rogue (my 93 ford tempo is ready to go!!!)Health insurance, and MAC makeup.

just the fact that i will be able to pay off my debts doing something i love is a reward!!!:twocents:

Where do I begin, I defitnately want to buy a car. I want a tummy tuck and a new wardrobe for me and my mom. Finally, I can't wait to be able to pay my bills and save some money for me and my kid :D

A trip to Saint Petersburg located in Russia,this has been my dream since some time now and I always wanted to go to Australia,I have friends there just need money for the ticket.

hmm it depends the restorative system called Nanoworks (which by the way is awsome) is 50 dollar per shampoo or conditioner,the hair mask is check this out 100 dollars which is nuts in my opinion,however if you were refering to regular puerology shampoo it is 25 per bottle...but you get what you pay for

Yup hair products is my weakness,I could care less about other cosmetics,and I love shoes...

My moms want to get tummy tuck (she is struggling with this since 18) and I'm willing to pay for it but I dont know if she can go ahead with the procedure cause although she doesn't have diabetes for some uknown to men reason her wounds dont heal quick....

Maybe I'm looking at the big bottle - at our Ulta the larger bottle is $50 a piece - but it lasts me like 6 months so I guess it works out.

I also forgot - I have the world's biggest feet (MENS 10 1/2 WIDE - and I'm a girl!) but I'm a total purse um...ho...I would totally up the ante purse wise - and there's a Louis Vuitton briefcase I would die for!
