Got several years of medical supplies, new phone for when current one lets the smoke out, some solar power system basics, and supplies for my favorite hobbies for at least the next few years.

I’d have bought the handgun I’ve had my eye on but I figured that if anything would become even easier to buy in the next 4 years it’s probably guns, so I’m not in any rush

Not sure what else I could have bought that I know I would 100% use. There’s a very long list of stuff that I might use or could use or would use sometimes, but spending on a maybe is worse than buying at a premium when I know I need it. Learned that one the hard way.

Though I’m planning on expanding the garden this year, that should help save some money
