βIβm 71, single, and comfortably retired with my dog; I recently realized that I have some extra cash (low five figures) in the bank, and Iβd like to buy myself something nice.β I'm a Los Angeles-born and based writer focusing on politics and internet culture here at BuzzFeed. "Buying yourself time is the best money spent..." "Not suggesting you buy binoculars. But you're retired. Isn't there some hobby or activity you've put off? Or that you've gone cheap on in the past? A friend of mine is a golfer. He didn't buy all new clubs. But he went out and bought two specific ones, ridiculously priced...but ones he'd always wanted. Thought he'd never have. Give yourself a little reward. You earned it."
