Getting new kitchen cabinets and countertops would make me happy, and I’m within a stone’s throw of being able to afford it.
I am in Denver. My son will be graduating medical school (note: blatant mom brag!) in early June. We’d love, not only to attend graduation, but to give something awesome as a gift to celebrate. Can we afford it? Maybe. Barely. I’ll be putting off other things to save.

I really want an ipad. I’m thinking of going for a refurbished/used one once the ipad3 comes out… but if could afford a brand new ipad3… HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE? But alas – I can’t. Which is fine. The ipad2 will suffice as long as it has a working camera. :)
I would buy a nice Benchmade knife. A 556, 707, 14210 or… something like that. :)
Tickets to the L.A. philharmonic. Every year, that’s my big pre-debtfree splurge. I set aside money for them, but know I can’t really afford it.

One thing that I would love to spend money on this year would be a getaway for me and the hubby. We never get vacation or getaways, so it would be nice! We definitely cannot afford it yet, but we are working on a savings account for this specific purpose. :)
I’d love to purchase a netbook, but I don’t know that we can justify buying that… Heck, there are SEVERAL things I’d like to purchase this year, but not getting them is a sacrifice I’m making so I can stay a stay-at-home-mom!
If I could afford it, I would finally purchase myself a laptop. For me, it would be historic, because it would be my first one, to show myself how grown up I am.
