In the world of music, I want the new Lava Studio, which is basically a Spark 2 smart amp with a tablet built-in (for about the cost of a Spark + iPad haha!), from the company that made the neato Lava Me 4 Carbon guitar (which is rather spiffy). It's essentially a low-friction convenience tool that gives you an amp, DAW, looper, pedalboard, recorder, and DSP effects engine all in one compact unit. There's so much cool stuff out there now, like the Polyend endless user-defined stompbox pedal...technology is crazy lol

Can't really think of anything. There's stuff I wouldn't mind having, but no strong desires. I wouldn't mind having a 70cc class saw. My saws go from 60cc to 90cc. A lot of stuff falls in the middle. A little big for the 60, but the 90 is heavy and thirsty. A Stihl 500I fuel injected saw would be great. Has the weight of a 70, and the power of a 90.

Wishlist, LOL.... a new metal roof on my home.

I am over 65 years old. My health is my major concern. Material stuff is not a priority.

My mortgage is almost paid off, I should have paid extra on the principal starting at age 22 instead of buying hot rod toy cars and motorcycles etc.

A mini with a grapple would be useful, but it adds a whole new layer of complexity for doing trees.

My current wishlist consists of getting all 20+ windows in my home upgraded to dual pane, putting solar on the roof, and burying my pool. All of which are currently not in our budget. Oh, and for PG&E to go pound sand...

A nice 2x12 speaker cab would be cool, I don't really want to move my 4x12 stack around anymore. Have thought about having the bottom one turned into a pair of 2x12s.
That new Old Blood Noise Endeavors Parting pedal seems cool/interesting
A new deck and driveway

Windows are insane expensive now days. Even a small bedroom window is like a grand now days. I had one where the seal in one of the panes was broken, I was able to get a company to change just the pane instead of the whole window so that saved me some money. Been debating on replacing the 2 basement windows though, I want to finish the wall around them so now would be a good time to do it. On the other hand they don't look that old so might just leave them.

A mini excavator and a walk behind loader. The problem is I have no use for either. I could also use a boom lift for some work on my house.

A new 4x4 with a new plow and auto start NG generator. 70G should cover it, which is reasonable to alleviate stress I suppose

Those are the ones I'm kinda looking into actually. It's a pain going through the process of ordering direct from China, but I see them for sale locally sometimes.

Something in the 1.5ton range with thumb and backfill blade. Closed cab would be ideal but I could settle without in that price range. Sure beats a shovel!

I think I might buy a PS5. I thought Xbox 1 S would be my last console but I kind of want a new toy.

Does PS5 have any good games?

$12k shipped is an insanely cheap price!!

I've been doing a sort of dry January (half of January and half of February) because of a new medication I'm on. You don't have to not drink on it but it can cause liver and kidney problems in some people so I wanted to make sure I was ok with it. My birthday is at the end of February so this is my list!

Nothing material. Extra time would be great. I am more focused on getting rid of things I don't need anymore. So sick of seeing crap everywhere. Thousands of dollars of shit that doesn't get used. Most isn't mine but some of it is. I haven't spent a penny on physical things other than toiletries, food, water, fuel, etc. in the last month. I've also sold about $300 worth of stuff I had sitting around in my basement - old electronics, furniture, etc. that I hadn't used in years.

I have most of what I want. I would like to double my solar panels but no company would answer the phone or emails last year. And now the tax break is gone, so I'll wait a bit.

What is left on my wish list is something that I'll never have. I'd like to build a Center for Obscure Sports. Why? Just COS. A place to follow all my interests that my city just doesn't have or barely has. It would have a nice obstacle course to practice canyoneering and rappelling, another area to figure skate, a good ballroom dance floor, a large aerial gym, etc. I'd add in some rooms for my friend's obscure sports: fencing, roller derby, etc. Have an obscure passion and insurance? Come in for free and teach a class.

My city has like 40 baseball fields and more on the way. Probably has 100 basketball courts. But nothing for those of us who have varied interests.

Someone here fences. We did it in gym class in highschool, but I never went further with it. I should have. Fencing is pretty fun.

Amazing. Good stuff brother.

I am striving to get to this place as I have everything I could need and need to only focus on necessities and great experiences -- from bike rides to dates to shows to road trips, and everything in between. I spent way too much money on stuff in a financially irresponsible way the last few years and I have such great stuff, I should be buying nothing.

I'm getting pretty close to it but I'm not there yet. It's a struggle. Working on it in therapy.
