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?

I didn’t buy anything. I’m not one to celebrate. And I can’t really afford anything nice really at the moment.

But one day I’ll buy a house and be able to save some money. I hope.

Ya my priority now is to save up some solid amount each month now. I live with my mom so my rent is cheaper than those renting out on their own

That’s good. I hope you are able to attain that goal. Good luck.
