I'm pretty excited. I just got a quote for my first big item purchase for myself, like ever. I've been living on a fairly strict budget while in school, and have found it hard to justify buying anything that I didn't absolutely need. But I'm giving myself the go-ahead just this once.

So now that I have a full time salary, what will be my first big purchase? I'm curious what y'all will guess.

I'll give you two hints:

1) It's not a car. Or a house (yet). In fact, it's fairly nonstandard and probably more practical than most "I just got a full time job and I can finally buy XXX" items go.
2) It's something that I've been wanting since I was a young girl.

I also realize that my "big" purchase might be small to others. To others, it might be considered an extravagance. It's all relative. I definitely won't be buying something I can't afford. And I definitely won't be paying with credit. Remember, this is Heather. I still have an emergency fund, a potential down payment, and now retirement to budget for. Sheesh.

No fair quizzing Tony, either, since he already knows.

Ready, set, guess!
