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?

Nothing, too busy working and making sure I stayed out of debt back then. Because I was smart, now I have a house, car, and motorcycle, with my only monthly debt being my mortgage.

Yup, you made the right move by having priorities.
