What are you saving up for?

 

[rcpratt]

House, I guess? I don't need anything else.

 

[Jumpem]

New house sometime this week.

Coffins on the cheap

[Dirigible]

New retaining wall and fence. I miss saving up for fun stuff.

Some advice, go with the fake copper colored plastic or no copper at all. You attract the filth linked below when you are buried with precious metals.

Which ever goes first. Probably a new swamp cooler, maybe a furnace, or roof. The furnace and roof are original at 40+ years but the swamp cooler is definitely reaching the end.

We're also looking into building a small greenhouse (12'x8' or so).

Edit: Dirigible reminded me that we also eventually need to build a retaining wall. Not that expensive but a lot of work and mess.

Buying a refrigerator today.

Retirement

 

[mmntech]

Apartment/house. I keep a tidy sum away for a down payment. Now it's just getting that job to pay enough for the monthlies.

 

[mrrman]

offers on a 70 Chevelle and 68 Camaro...my next 2 resto cars to sell

 

[Harrod]

Probably a 55-60 inch tv, not really saving up for one though, just waiting for a deal that is too good to pass up.

 

[RockinZ28]

I'd reeeally like an 06+ Corvette z06, but I guess I should buy a house first.

 

[vi edit]

Got to pour a driveway. There goes 3-5 grand.

Booourns.

[AMCRambler]

Looking to buy a pickup truck. Living in the Northeast I really need something with 4 wheel drive. Especially since I work for the power company and they expect my ass at work whether it's rain, sleet or snow. My rear wheel drive car with snows on the back is adequate but if the roads haven't been plowed, it can't do it.

The added bonus to the truck is that I have a house now and I really need something for hauling supplies for all the home improvement projects.

I actually ran out of ideas on what to buy. I got some extra money to spend, but I don't know what to buy. Maybe some nice clothes, but I don't consider those major purchases.
