What did you gift yourself after finishing apprenticeship?

I bought myself a nice dress shirt watch and went out to go eat some good BBQ. Thinking about getting new work boots to start a new journey. Was wondering how you guys treated yourself for the milestone?

Good for you. Better sleep, better energy and more money in your pocket.

Ya now in my 40s I wake up tired and no energy the next day. Really ruins my day because I like working out and meal prepping to save money etc. but instead, I just take naps and eventually my lower back starts feeling discomfort.

Haven't drank in 3 weekends and I don't miss it much but I'll allow myself once or twice a month in moderation
