Materialistic People - What to buy prior to Analyst / SA Gig?

We are obviously going to make more money than we ever had made as soon as the summer starts.

For those of us that already have some sorts of savings, what do you materialistic people suggest spending money on - in preparation for the long hours we will be working? Could be nominal objects such as health-boosting supplements / pills, or even high-priced items such as watches, shoes, accessories, etc.

What are YOU going to spend your money on? Looking to go on an online Amazon Prime shopping spree, but have no idea what would be ideal to buy! So far all I could think of to buy includes 7 jeans and Ferragamo loafers.

Cool gadgets and accessories would be ideal. Not looking to blow my money, just spend / enjoy some of it. Post links and descriptions, would love to hear from you all, bankers or not.

What is this, 2005? Or are you just from the Midwest?

 

7 jeans LOL.

If you really want to spend money for whatever reason, buy a pair of Allen Edmonds Park Avenues and some cedar shoe trees, thank me later.

MM IB -> Corporate Development -> Strategic Finance

I spent 90% of my money on women, drink and fast cars. The rest I wasted. :D
