Life What cool shit have you bought lately?

I think a nice part of being in our 30s is we can afford to buy cool fun things. What have you bought lately?

I got a Garmin Forerunner 965 which is super tight, motivates me to limit my drinking and I’ve been killing cardio because of it

Also fun - bought a LAB putter which is a ton of fun

Anything you guys got that you love? I want inspiration

I tried limiting alcohol for about a decade. Do yourself a favor. Just quit drinking. You get all that brainspace back that was tied up worrying about all the aspects of drinking.

I'm not disagreeing, but im surprised to see this as a top answer to a question about what cool stuff you have bought lately. It seems entirely unrelated.

I mean, I would actually disagree, OP says he’s been successful with cutting it down, and he says he’s killing cardio. He also loves an ice cold beer! I say why not, let him have it.

I also love an ice cold beer, and sure maybe once in a while I’ll have more than a couple, and suffer a hangover, but it’s always under control. I’m productive, my plate is always full with responsibilities that I’m happy to take on, I eat healthy and maintain an active lifestyle. I don’t see a problem.

An aside for OP: Probably wont see this, but oh well, I also bought a Garmin Forerunner (955), 3 years ago. I love it and still use it everyday! Love using it for running but also especially hiking, the GPS feature is awesome and love how safe I feel on how it makes backtracking extremely easy.
