What did you buy first once you hit it?

I can completely relate to this post, although I didn't buy anything at all when I sold my business... In fact, I'm in the process of selling just about everything I have and moving to a different city.

Selling my business and getting a decent amount of money made me realize that the money part never really mattered in the first place and wasn't the big motivation for starting up.

Now I just have the money sitting in a couple different accounts and I don't plan on buying anything with it (other than maybe a decent vacation at some point - I didn't take any over the five years I ran the business).

It takes a lot for me to tear up, but "Bring every bill, everything you owe over to my place tonight. We're gonna write some checks." ... This.

I bought a laptop with a backlit keyboard and my first five-star resort vacation.

For me, "hitting it" was several different things:

~ A steady job paying $1500+/mo. I rewarded myself with a $250 netbook to replace a stolen laptop. ~ A straight-A report card for the first time since starting college. I rewarded myself with Hostess for the first time in half a decade. ~ I plan to reward myself for a steady job out of college by completely paying off my credit card and closing the account. I might also fix up some of the cosmetic problems with my car.

I just don't care enough about stuff to buy stuff. I've got walls of video cards, a half-dozen computers, a full bookshelf... What do I really need in life? Not stuff.
