It was a vehicle purchase at the end of COVID. I purchased financing at the time, and I thought it was a pretty good deal, a pretty good rate. But after I made the purchase, I found a far better rate. The rate that I originally had was overwhelming. I eventually refinanced my vehicle at a much better rate.

Yes, it was a tattoo. I was the stereotypical, 18-year-old, rebellious teenager. One day, my friends decided to go get tattoos, and I said, “Sure, I’ll get one, too.” I got a tattoo of a snake, which I just picked out … and went for it. Well, it has aged terribly and has bled out. I guess now that it’s a homage to myself from those days. I’ll probably get another tattoo, but it won’t be of a snake.

I bought a guitar, and I never even use it, except for decoration. Actually, I bought an acoustic and an electric guitar. I wanted a new hobby, but I got busy with work, and I wanted to focus more on photography. I eventually sold my electric guitar, and the other guitar is still on the wall as a decoration. But it’s an option if I want to play it.

Totally. Having an Amazon account is a dangerous game. I buy stuff, and I don’t even remember what I bought until it comes in the mail. I bought a lot of holiday-themed cat toys once. Be mindful of your purchases. If you don’t need it, don’t buy it. But if you do, may it bring you joy and make you happy!

I bought a stapler, a double-sided stapler! I needed to staple up some documents. I bought it at a thrift shop, and then I went and bought staples at Staples. I loaded it up, and it didn’t work. I learned my lesson. To begin with, I should have just bought a stapler at Staples and not at a thrift shop.
