My horses and dog have brought me so much happiness and fortune over the years. I’m so glad I got through having my horse when I was young and poor and didn’t wait until later to adopt one.
A vacation to Europe (specifically the southern Netherlands). It radically changed my outlook on life that I got out and lived with my internet friends for a few weeks. As an American who grew up being told how bad it was outside the country, it was mind blowing to see and meet people outside my bubble. I now want to move to the EU (have my eye on Marseille and Seville).
AirPods Pro 2 (specifically the 2nd gen because of the improvements): before having these, wired earbuds were a pain in the ass to use. Transparency and ANC have changed my life because I can pop on ANC while vacuuming and not be bothered to crank up a stereo to hear over the vacuum. Also for riding my horse: I got some accessory ear huggers that you slip on so they literally cannot fall out. I can ride for hours while listening to tunes.
A very bright ceiling light in the kitchen. Self explanatory.
A chef’s knife. I personally only spent 40$ and it’s been great so far.
A dog door. I cannot tell you how amazing it is to just let the dogs shit outside on their own and they come back in. No more worrying about leaving them home because of the anxiety induced when they don’t shit on the morning walk.
Most of these are good suggestions except for the horse, lol Not everyone's gonna rush out and get one!
I wanted to be a veterinarian (didn’t work out because of mediocre grades, admittedly), but I work with animals now anyway; I’m just a manager instead of a veterinarian. Being able to say I have 20 years of XP made my interviewers just laugh and give me my current job in the interview.
