    My recent bigger purchase was a video game, so probably a different video game somewhere down the line. I’m trying not to spend too much money right now unless it’s money I’ve gotten from donating plasma. Kind of like pocket money for small stuff.

    Other than that, I’ve got all I need right now, pretty much

    Hoping to get my driving license, London and public transport didn’t give me a need to drive despite knowing how to (shh), and at my age it could be a great benefit moving forward so I figure a small refresher and the exam will do me good.

    Also been saving up, separately, for an upcoming holiday to the Netherlands. My mother’s health can take a turn any day, so I wanted to take her to my favourite part of the world while I still could. Got a few things planned.

    I’m not even sure anymore really. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is crazy drugs and sex day before I blow my brains out. I’ve seen a couple stories about people realizing life really is worth living after a binge like that, and it has me wondering if that would really work for me haha

      I also have that exact story. Got a bunch of drugs, hired a prostitute. After she left, took a crazy concoction I thought for sure would kill me. I’ll never forget what I thought was my last breath. All I could feel was immense regret. My brain kept reminding me of all the little things I had to live for that for some reason I couldn’t think of at any moment before. I woke up the next day feeling like death, but I’ve never felt better to be alive. 7 years later and I remember it all like it was yesterday. I would never recommend anyone to go to that length to feel something, but I understand why it happens. Unfortunately too many people take that final breath and don’t wake back up. Find a good therapist to talk to. If that’s not an option then a family member or friend. The people who share that story all got lucky to a degree. If you don’t feel you have anyone if your life to reach out to, feel free to reach out to me or any trusted community you find on the internet. It may seem silly to talk to a complete stranger on the internet in that way, but there are an overwhelming number of real people here and not just bots lol.

    No clue tbh, I’ve kinda reached all my savings goals. Can buy a house outright when the time comes to settle down (not so easy, not even sure about the country let alone cityat this point), and still got enough to live a relaxed life. Guess I’ll just top up the retirement fund.

    Too little spare money to save much. After clearing my current debt the next item will be a chair, new curtains, then a refrigerator. Ideally.

    I’m going on my first trip with my girlfriend and I’m saving up for a stay in the mountains. We both love hiking, so I think everything will work out.

    A house. Kinda feel like I cannot buy anything I don’t strictly need because of this.
