I DREAM of becoming an astrophysicist and studying the universe. So for the easier time one, probably a telescope!
The bigger thing to save for is university, preferably MIT!

Goin’ down the shore next month for the first vaca. In decades! Don’t wanna skimp or have to think about $, so we’ve been saving like crazy. Prolly won’t even spend it all, but it’ll be so nice to splurge. We’ve earned it after the last 6 years. Take that, cancer!

Paying off my student loan. Will be fully paid off in July next year unless I manage to pay extra money. But in max. 1 year I'll be debt free!
After that I want to save up to have a good music player (for both cds and tapes) and a grammophone.
And I have begun on a weight loss journey two days ago. I am doing it differently this time and I hope that it will work. ( no counting calories. Learning to love exercise. Have exercise be my goals instead of numbers on the scale. Stop comfort eating. Stop overeating. Cutting down on sugar and light-products....). I will save up to buy new clothes for when i have lost ca 20kgs and again when I have lost 35-40kgs.
Music and clothes for a happier and prettier me. 🤘😎🤘

College. My dad is emotionally abusive, so I don't expect for him to help me pay for it unless I stay at home after I'm 18, which for the good of my mental health, I'm not doing. Plus, even if he did pay for it or even help pay for it, he would hold it over my head, and that's not an option.

A new pair of Doc Martens. I've had my current pair for about 4 years, but they have definitely been through hell and back after seeing nearly daily wear for that whole time. I came to call them my toe savers after using them to help lower heavy platforms so everyone else could get their fingers out.They are very scuffed up, the soles just aren't what they used to be, ect. I'm loathed to replace them because they've really become a part of my routine, silly as it sounds. But the universe recently sent me a sign to just do it through one of the laces beginning to wear away. So I'm planning on honorably retiring them and buying a new pair of Docs for the upcoming school year.

At the moment it's a decent electric bicycle - I can't peddle a normal one anymore cause of lung damage from chemo but my missus really loves to ride her bike along the coast (we live about 200m from the sea). There are a few cheaper ones that I could get right now, but they're mostly crappier motors and firmly aimed more as 'peddle assist' ones that expect you to do half the work too... which I can't manage. I need one that's basically an electric wheelchair but bike shaped xd

I’m currently saving all of my change up so my dad can get a drink and a breakfast sandwich from Starbucks :) . He’s a penny pincher, so he always feels guilty if he spends money for himself, but would buy anything for his family. He works day and night, so we can have money. I love him, and I know it’s not a lot, but I’m hoping that if I just buy it with spare change, he would feel less guilty enjoying it.
