I guess you're not wrong, it definitely wasn't cheap. I bought the components during a Black Friday sale, so I was able to save several hundred, though.

Battlemage is probably my favorite fantasy archetype. I like the idea of being to effectively use weapons and magic, or using them together to even greater effect.

I got new Liftmaster garage doors installed this past January. I haven't installed the app and I have no plans to. I didn't even consider different brands or features at the time; I just wanted door that open and close when you push the buttons. So far, they have been fine, and the integrated battery backup came in handy once as well.

I mowed lawns as a younger teen and worked at a local pizza place at 16.

As a side note, I remember coming to the realization that I actually had some money after a few weeks of mowing lawns. I was fortunate enough that my parents covered living expenses, so my pay could all be spending money for me. I of course knew that working = pay, but the first couple times you have a couple hundred bucks in your pocket that you can spend as you please is a liberating feeling.

I would look at your potential career path and go for certs to support that. Cisco certs for networking, Azure/AWS for cloud-based infrastructure, etc. Before starting any course though, I would check with your company to see if they would foot the bill or reimburse you for any of them. They might be looking for something specific and more willing to pay for you to learn it.

Highly dependent on what features I need from the software in question and what the alternatives are. For a business case, I would probably go with 3. I deal with software deployments at my company, so I know how bad some bugs can be to the business. For games, I tend to go with 1. For other software, 3, as I'm not really a power user for things like photo editing, spreadsheets, etc.
