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.
Honestly some new clothes( these 5 year old jeans are really starting to show it, not to mention they seem to be getting smaller and smaller) and a nice meal for me and my man that does not consist of Ramen noodles. lol
i think the very first thing i plan on buying once i become a nurse is my very first *badass* outfit (regular price) from bebe. i have never been able to afford their clothing. (even the clothes on the clearance rack ) only being able to shop at the clearance racks in stores can be depressing at times...but oh well. it will be worth it at the end!

I just googled Nars blushes, I had never heard of them before. After seeing the names of them, I COMPLETELY understand why you would want them!:chuckle

LOL@ the names that I cannot list here. I want to buy "O," "DT," Taos, Exhibit A, Albatross, Taj Majal, and Zen. The famous "O" color was so very, very pretty when I tried it on. "Super O" looks tacky and too glittery, though, IMHO. At least it was when I tried it on in Sephora. Damn that Sephora for coming to my town!
What can I say? These NARS blushes really do give a pretty "glow" unlike many blushes that look just like um...like you put blush on.
I did pick up a Stila palette on ebay super cheap that is just as nice as Taos, though. Maybe that'll hold me for my expensive cosmetics until I graduate and get a job!
Blackberry. Lasik eye surgery!!!. Real Uggs *or nice boots that will keep my feet warm and dry*. And something really nice for my sister who has been my sounding board with me in this whole nursing school journey.
I am like some of the earlier posters I would like to be able to pay my bills and not have to tell my kids that the things they wanted would have to wait. Then I would love to take an Alaskan Cruise... (always wanted to go after finishing medic school but not happening on a medic salary.) I just received my RN on Dec. 31 2008 and I am starting my new job tomorrow.. so we will see how it goes... keeping my fingers crossed... and no dino's.. the kids are scared of them.. :)
