No because it's not really within my budget.
Sure am excited about my new light bulbs though.

Being old doesn't make you good at adulting.
I'm in my 20s but I was excited to get a new rug last year because it was for my dog. Does that count?
I'm "excited about buying a new vacuum cleaner" old. Because I already bought the rugs.
No. A vacuum cleaner? Yes. A dehumidifier? Yes.
But then again, I was told that without my partner the only furniture I would have is a table, bed, and chair
Not me, but my spouse. I love all the rugs they pick, we always agree, but I can't match or really even understand the excitement.
But if it's shopping for food in an open green market, sign me the fuck up.
If I could justify a rug rn I'd be rubbing my hands together like a fly.
Nah. A mattress though? You bet!
If I could have a convoy with my younger adult self - invest in decent beds.
just bought a new rug last week >:3 i rubbed my paws on all the fluffiest rugs till my fingers were raw
Yes.
Yes! Looking for one for my office, it's really gonna tie the room together.
Don't let anyone ever pee on it!
i am actively looking for one to color-coordinate my bedroom.

Maybe not quite that old, but old enough that the really soft blanket I got for Christmas was the highlight. Even over the real nice headphones I got that I've fallen in love with.
Though, I was recently thinking of getting myself a couple towels all for myself and was kinda excited at the prospect of having my own couple towels my family can't use, so maybe I'm nearly there.
We bought this one a few years back and we were super excited for it. It's still a nice rug to see in our house. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Mohawk-Home-Majorelle-Gardens-Blue-Blue-Indoor-Area-Rug-Common-5-x-8-Actual-5-ft-W-x-8-ft-L-x-0-5-ft-dia/1000931700
Hmmm, maybe not a rug, but new towels and such? Yeah, I'm that old :)
