New 1997 Ford Expedition XLT 4WD. It was the first year of the expedition. Kids drove it for years. We kept that bitch until 2014. I still see it occasionally in town.

Made the common mistake of buying a new vehicle that was a lot more than I prob should have right out of college. Since then, I’ve always bout used and paid cash. After the 3 month newness wears off, there’s not a worse feeling than having a car payment on top of having to pay full coverage insurance.

At 41, the nicest vehicle I ever owned was when I made the least amount of ‘professional’ money at 21.

A house. Drove very average cars, wore very average clothes, & took average vacations pretty much from post college until 2003 to be able to do so.

A lot of guns. Then a four wheeler. Still in college.

A beach house in a third world country. College dropout at that point. (This isn't baller, it was like 25k I technically still own it...but I haven't thought about it since 2010. The housing stipend paid it off in like three months I'm sure it's been looted and ransacked by now. Or has a family of 50 living in it.

Very first pay check: a bottle of my favorite perfume (a small bottle) of Opium and a new copy of the Vogue Sewing Book.
