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?

Interesting how so many pick a car first.

maybe 'cause it's much more affordable than a house, and when you're starved for money, you want to spoil yourself, but can't afford a house yet...:rolleyes:

On a serious note though my first priority when I'm done school will be to pay back the student loans A.S.A.P. and take a vacation. Then car, house, kids, etc, etc...:)

An engraved cadeus, embroidered scrub jacket, top of the line "regulars" like stethoscope, bp kit, pens, ...etc...

and... Can't forget... a night out at an italian pasta joint to celebrate

Many of us suffered through driving old, unreliable piece-of-crap cars during during school. I did. The first chance I got, I qualified for 0% financing on a brand new car, and I have been in new car ecstasy ever since.

I already own a condo. I would definitely remodel to make it a really nice bachelor pad (yes I'm a male), then after 5 years or so, and treat myself to a nice BMW 5 series :D, besides being able to pay bills etc.

Exactly. I went from that scenario to having none at the moment. Hopefully by next year I can buy 2 $4500 hoopty that will last through school. I'll gladly pay a monthly car note if it's my dream car.

*hides in the corner*

Prius?? NNOOOO... I want a spanking new Pontiac G6. OH and who's seen the new Ford Taurus? Sexxxxyy, isn't it!? =)

I have about a billion handbags and perfume that I'm putting off till I graduate and get a job!! I want to buy all kinds of jewelry for my mom. I want to spoil my mom and my daughter rotten.

Now I just need that paycheck!!!! :)

What about the Volkswagon Eos??? Slick new car.

Well let's see....for myself...I want a boob lift,a tummy tuck and lipo...( having 4 kids really does a number on your body):lol2:

Then I want to pay off all the bills...get a new house (bigger), a vehicle all 6 of us can ride in comfortable...go on a well need vacation...put up for kids education...buy a boat, and some motorcycles. A couple of nice purses and shoes for starters

Most definately have a House keeper and A COOK so I NO LONGER HAVE TO DO IT !!!:D

kudos to you for wanting a Prius, I really like the fact that is hybrid and all but I just don't like how it looks, I can't help myself... Maybe if there will be a new model that I like the looks of... then I'll consider it... right now all I'm hoping for is that they start making the cars I want in hybrid by the time I'm ready to buy it... :rolleyes:

I hope you all enjoy your Priuses, all the more fuel for my gas guzzlers!
