What was your first “Big Purchase”?

[bendover]

After you graduated or once you got an “adult” job.
What was that first big purchase where you splurged out?

-first paycheck I gave to my mama
-second paycheck I spent 1.8k on a gold chain.

If memory serves me right, I want to say my first real guitar. Black and white MIM Stratocaster which was stolen out from my car

Other then that probably gave most my money to my mother to help on bills and things.

Over 50% of my monthly take home from that first "grown-up job" check went towards student loan repayment. I did splurge on a 11 day tour of Western Europe toward the end of that year though. After that, it was back to student loan repayments until I was debt free.

Rx7 in high school I guess. First thing I bought that was a couple grand.

It was a non turbo fc, not too much money. Clean af though, I should have never sold it and just swapped a turbo motor in.
