Alright you old timers, what were your financial moves after college?? Did you buy a fancy car, save for a house, invest in stock market, start a business???

I made $18k a year for about 2-3 years after college. I was lucky to eat and pay off the $3k in college credit card debt that I had.

a new fancy car would probably be about the dumbest thing to do. We saved for a house but the house itself didn't go up in value at all in the 4 years we lived in it.... that sucked. new house has gone up a decent amount in the past 8 years though.

Unless you got them locked in at 1.8%. I wish I would've borrowed $100k.
