What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income? (leminal.space)

I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

Being married can make things cheaper. 2 incomes, and most expenses are not doubled, like rent or utility costs. That is until you have a kid, then things can be as expensive as you let them get.

In most cases here, the woman doesn't work because it's very hard for them to get a job here. So they are in most cases just literally housewive with no income.
