Bought my first truly personal TV

I’m 28 and I’ve been living on my own for about 6 years.

Pretty much everything in my apartment has been a hand-me-down, Facebook Marketplace find, or something I got cheap from someone moving out lol.

My TV was an old 42” Vizio my dad gave me years ago. Remote barely worked, picture was washed out, but hey… it turned on.

Last week I finally bought a brand new TV for myself.

Found the 65” Hisense E7 on sale for $599 and decided to just do it.

Nothing crazy, but going from that old 42” to a new 65” MiniLED feels like such a ridiculous upgrade.

Sitting there after setting it up, I realized this is literally the first TV I’ve ever bought new with my own money.

Kinda dumb thing to feel proud about, but I do.

Adulting milestone unlocked I guess lol.
