What Was Your First Big Purchase After Separating or Retiring?

I bought my forever home

I had to sell my Jeep when I transferred to Spain. Once I retired, I purchased a new Jeep Unlimited within a month.

I purchased a house and a car for my family

Engagement ring

A 65’ Catalina convertible

I retired from the military on 3/31/2019 and on 04/01/2019, I closed escrow on a house purchased at $1,250,000. That's a pretty big purchase! It's the best purchase I've ever made, especially since I could no longer qualify for it on the day I closed settlement. Donna Dosik [login to see]

2 one way tickets to Philippines.

Purchased a home for my family.

The first major purchase was to completely redo the exterior of our home so that I would be set for the long hall with no problems. Best to catch problems early and redo when they are small jobs.

My first big purchase was a home.
