With the influx of tax-free $400 from a "prosperity bonus" coming my way, the question is how to spend it. The economics student inside of me points out that I have a crushing law school debt, and I would be wise to put it towards that most shining gift of all - education. But the less lame student of reality inside of me says spend, spend, spend!
I can vividly recall my first major purchase as a young child. (And no, it was not Hootie.) I saved up $120 for the massive "Barracuda Pirate Ship" from Lego, at that point in time being in the full swing of my pirate phase. Sure, investing that money in a 20 year treasury bond may have made me a lot better off now, but the rate of return on childhood whimsy is, you know, immeasurable.... damn I could use that money.Anyway, I gather the ship is not sold anymore, which is a true shame. Instead, they give children this watered-down excuse for a pirate ship.
Anyone recall their first major purchase?
i loved lego! i played with it regularly even at the age of 12 and 13, which is kind of weird. but i loved my lego hospital: http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=6380-1
ReplyDeletewe had a whole piece of furniture built just for separating out the various lego bits by colour, size and shape - my mother was disturbingly organised.
