Five Times Adults Bought Something They Had Wanted Since Childhood
What's one thing you were denied as a kid that you got as an adult?

Childhood can be rough, especially when you're not born with a trust fund. For a lot of us, this meant not having what the other kids had at home growing up. Reddit user u/dirtymoney asked the internet to name a time they went back and got those very things with their adult money.

With over 16,000 comments in just two days, it's safe to say we were all roughing it a bit.

    As a kid I had very little, my parents worked a lot but we were low-income to say the least. I now make more than both my parents combined when I was a kid and now my kids never have to go without any need. Sure hardship builds character but also knowing that your parents can cover whatever you need is a great feeling too.
