I just purchased my first vehicle, an 02 Forester, with cash. Granted, that was entirely because we just got our profit-sharing money from work, but still, I worked hard for that. Prior to this, I drove my dad's castoffs, or nothing at all, so even though I've been driving for over a decade, it feels like a big step.

I also was able to engineer my work schedule to go down to a .8(4 days a week), so that I can spend that extra day doing cool stuff in life - mostly pursuing my budding live techno project, but also to start doing some iOS development, and just get out more. It's going to affect my budgeting, but I'm hoping to more than make up for it with side ventures.

I've been paying down my debt to my mom for almost a year now, which I didn't want to let fester. Once that's done, I am debt-free. Next will be shoring up the emergency fund and putting more money away for a trip to China in 2013.
