Hey Pandas, What Is Something That You’re Saving Up For? (Closed)

I was into astronomy when younger and got away from it for years. Surprising how far the quality and abilities of the new equipment is, especially solar scopes. While saving up you can look for a local astronomy club, some have loaner scopes for members. There is even the odd library which have loaners.

You go you!

I recently gave my skywatcher 200p to a friend of mine because it just wasn't getting used much. Not that I'm not still keen on astronomy, just that for someone with a disability it just got too hard to get it out to the yard and set up for a few hours use. There's an awful of weight in a decent mount and counterweights, nevermind the weight of the scope itself. Glad it's going to get more use in my friend's hands though...and I know he'll invite me along when he's using it. If I'd not had a friend who was also keen on astronomy, then I'd have looked for someone like you to give it to so good luck with your quest and happy stargazing :)

darksky.org has lists of where you can see the stars w/o light pollution. I lived in the country for over 30 years & moving to town was a huge revelation. Yes, we need streetlights for safety, but how much is too much?

Well done, that's not easy!

Good on you!

Nothing stupid about that- good quality sneakers are expensive.

Not stupid. Get a good pair and they'll last for years. I retired a pair of Nike last year that were over 15 years old.

Doesn't sound stupid at all, what kind of sneakers are you into?

Nothing stupid about saving for a fresh pair of kicks...besides style good shoes are important

I can relate. I had bad teeth for about 5 years and it8 was truly traumatic. People may say it doesn't matter but that's b******t. I lost my personality and couldn't get a decent job, despite being highly qualified. I couldn't get a full time job that would either pay enough for dental care or have dental benefits. I did the research; found a part time union job that paid about 70 percent dental care after 8 months of unemployment. It was embarrassing being judged by co workers and customers for 8 agonizing months. But. It. Finally. Paid. Off. It was one of the best days of my life!!. I slept with a compact mirror and bought lipstick for the first time in half a decade. You can do it too!! I'm rooting for you!!.

I hope I can be BRAVE enough to have mine taken care of.

Hey I hear you. Truly I do. You can do it.

Same

Yup. I'm trying to save the $13k I need for my oral surgery. Nice work, Laura!

How scarily true this is right now!

I have oodles of recipes that are quite tasty from product from any Dollar General. And cheater recipes like mad. Happy to help.

The best revenge is being able to give the "Big C" the big bird! Have a blast!

Yeah buddy! Have a wonderfully magical time. Homemade magic is always the best magic

I hope you have a wonderful time and congratulations! F cancer!

GO LENE!!!!!

I am impressed ! best of luck on your journey.....

I'm 15 and I already want this, it's never too early to save up

Don't forget to use a nom de plume

I’m so happy for you! Clear sailing ahead 👏🏼

Congrats!!!! 🥳🎉

Stay strong. I hope you make it.

This

Parent of the Year Award goes to.... This poster!

Yeah, but unfortunately that's part of life..

Aim High!

Have you seen Kinky Boots? There is so much info in that movie. And don't forget your walk. Toes pointed forward instead of outward. You don't sound stupid and I hope you'll get the heels and wig

My wigs are only cheap acrylic but they look well enough if you get a shape that suits you. You may find suitable shoes at a charity shop or thrift shop. These options would be a good start

You can actually find pretty good heels at thrift stores like Goodwill for cheap (if you aren't looking for like super nice ones of course). I've found really cute stuff there before! Good luck and best wishes! ♡

I'm the opposite, I love spending money, my only saving grace, is self-preservation instinct, gotta eat when I gotta eat!

Have you considered buying a used one. Many companies gets new computers every few years, and the old are not outdated at all, but sells for half or less then the price of a new.

I'm writing this on a 10 year old laptop. It was very expensive when I bought it but it still works good. Sadly, it won't support Windows 11 so I'll have to buy a new one when they stop updating Windows 10

If it's operating system related then installing Linux Mint with Mate desktop might do the trick. If it's possible add more RAM and replace the mechanical hard drive with an SSD.

Yay! have fun

So many of us feel this way.

Awesome!!!

Please take me with you! August is my birth month, too!

Happy birthday both now & in the future.
