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.
I want to save up for a substantial down payment for a house.
Hopefully Honda comes out with a hybrid 4-wheeler, because I will definitely buy that. I had to give up my Civic hybrid to get a CR-V for the weather where I live.
If iPad improves and becomes more than just an oversized iPhone, I want it.
When I graduate, I want to get myself a Littman sthethoscope.
The only things I want is my own apartment, an exercise bike and a tredmill for my apartment, unless I live in one of those apartments with a gym inside. That's all I can really think of. Then just pay off my student loans and stuff. I have no interest to drive.
Specializes in Emergency Dept. Trauma. Pediatrics.
A piece of land somewhere really quiet and rural, perhaps a mountaintop in WV. Or even better, a vacation cottage.
A small-but-reliable motor home.
And the hot tub idea sounds great, too!
Both very nice!!!!! My dream house would be in rolling green hills on a lot of land and a creek running through the back, well secluded with all the big stores within an hour drive, of course I would need the smaller things you need more often closer. Anyway, someday!

So what do you all want to buy?
OK, I started this thread a while back. I bought the Dyson. I decided Bobbi Brown blush is better than NARS and got some of those. I'm not buying the Mini Cooper - I'm going to drive my rust bucket until it falls apart. I don't like debt.
Nice furniture. Nice clothes. I think I'm down to scrubs.....scrubs.....random pair of jeans....scrubs....ooh, a t shirt...and scrubs. A full set of MAC makeup. A full day at a spa. A Coach bag! I can't justify spending much on extra stuff while living on a PCA's "salary."
In a perfect world, the economy will be kind and there will be new grad programs somewhere in So Cal for me. Really all I want to do is pack a suitcase of clothes, a trunk of belongings, my cat, and leave Ohio for sunnier shores. Moving to the west coast will be a lot easier without furniture LOL
Dear Cali, you've got till about March to show me some love! 3 more terms till graduation and less than a year till NCLEX!
