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.
Alaska?? What's in Alaska? --->> Well, maybe.... Sarah Palin! I don't mind seeing her. I'm gonna ask for a photograph, eventhough I don't agree with her politics. Well, I want a picture too
I was in Alaska for less than 24 hours because of a layover from Asia to Cali (or was it the other way around?) --> this was back in the '80's though. Anyway, I remember it was the summertime and there were a lot of trees!
One thing I like about AK is.... FRESH SALMON -->> Yum! YAY SALMON
Kayaking around glaciers, camping out for a week without seeing a single other person, and yes the fly fishing is amazing, as well as seeing the animals. One of these days I'll get there :)
When I graduate, my husband will be starting nursing school. First thing we will do with any extra money not going to bills will be our student loans. Once those are all paid off, I would love to get a boat!
I really just want to be able to come to a place in our lives where we no longer have to put off paying bills to buy groceries.
I hope I'll be able to pay for a house in a better school district or tuition to private school. My two boys always say, "when you're a nurse, Mama, we'll get a house with 2 toilets instead of just 1." :)
I'm looking into buying a house NOW. Houses are so cheap now. You can buy a 3/2 townhouse for 75,000 and the mortgage would be cheaper than what i pay for rent. So maybe that but when I graduate I really just want to pay off this damn 60,000 that I already have in student loans and hopefully whenever I get my NP I can afford to by an Aston Martin. Whoo!
If everything goes well, i would like to pay off my student loan and debts. I want to help my parents pay off this new house and buy them a nice luxury car. They been taking care of me so it's my turn to give back. Of course i would love to buy a house and a car later on. :w00t:
im quite sure my list will grow with time.
