What Was Your First Big Purchase After Separating or Retiring?

My first big purchase was a 1979 white Ford Thunderbird Elan. I still miss that car . . .

1968 Oldsmobile Cutlassr @ $3,200

My first big purchase after retirement was our new home; along with extended patios and walkway.

Bought an 8000$ pickup truck . the salesman took the check like it was a piece of dirty paper . it cleared by Monday . I still laugh about his face .

I saved a lot of money being in the field 20-days out of the month. My first major purchase (in 1981), was a 1974 Chevy Impala, a BBQ grill, bed, 4 spoons, 4 forks, 4 plates, 4 cups, a twin bed, a chest, and a lot of hangers. My first apartment (age 19).

a wedding

It was my road bike.

First purchase was tuition to Old Dominion University.. Returned home from final assignment on a Sunday evening, started school the next morning. Started out using credit cards and eventually used GI Bill.

My first big purchase was my college education with the GI Bill I started in Nursing. I also got my first apartment by myself with no military BAH.

The first thing I purchased was a new vehicle!
