I took my crappy car from high school to college and grad school.

When I got an offer for my first job out of school, I drove immediately to the Ford dealership.

F-150 XLT with the suicide doors for the back bench. Not anything special by today’s standards, but at the time it was the coolest thing I ever owned.

All-electric 15 gallon brewing system.

Then I had kids, and, well, bottomlandbrew has a lot less time to brew these days.

Peace of mind. Feeling less pressure to provide for my family is almost priceless.

Got a huge raise and sold my condo and haven’t bought shite, sitting in a HYSA right now. When I really want something I’ll pull the trigger. My 2015 Hyundai still runs.

I found out my wife was pregnant right after my most recent one got approved. So a kid I guess.

I went to an online auction and bought a Japanese katana for 5k.


Better get Randy Jackson's signature on there or it isn't worth the metal.

My GF at the time (now wife) lived well under our means for almost 6 years, put a 15% down payment on the house, paid cash to furnish it

I drove a POS car that barely ran. Paid $37 a month for liability.
