What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income? (leminal.space)

I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

A really nice electric guitar, amp, and pedal. Money was tight as a kid for a lot of reasons, my dad did the best he could. However, this meant playing with some equipment that didn’t sound quite right.

Now I have what I always wanted, but have trouble finding the time and energy to play.

I feel like that's the story for a lot of people here. I definitely feel that way with video games on occasion.
