After I got out of the AF, I bought my first house in Minot, North Dakota. It was an older house in a rural area, but it was mine!

My first big purchase was a divorce lol, followed by movers to move my stuff across the country, and my plane ticket. Worth every penny.

My first big purchase after retiring from the Army Reserves was my home! I am a single woman who has been strong and independent my whole life and after retirement I took a giant leap and decided that I could do this on my own as well. I have been in my home for ten years and will never go back to apartment life.

My first big purchase after retiring from the Navy was a name brand suit in the four digit range. While I loved it, I regret the purchase.

Cpl Vic Burk Vic, including tax, not pennies. Coat, vest, two pair of pants, and tailoring, $999.99 + tax. After a career of wearing Navy Blues & Khakis, depression, PTSD, separation, etc. All played a role.
