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.

My own drill (and an assortment of other power tools). Part of me still feels like I shouldn't be allowed to use a drill even as an adult, but I get more joy than is reasonable from hanging stuff on my walls. Such an efficient use of vertical space!

I never used to be a tool guy, but then I finally was able to buy a house. The joy I get doing yardwork and fixing things, especially when I have the right tool for the job, gives me so much joy. I genuinely love going to hardware stores now.
