The kids wanted an Apple II. The living-room furniture didn't stand a chance.

my first computer

It's 1982. Dad plans to buy a Radio Shack computer. The kids have other ideas. They want the more expensive Apple II Plus. Somehow, they convince their parents. The computer comes home, and new living-room furniture gets pushed down the shopping list. The funny part? Their parents never regretted it.

What's something your family splurged on that turned out to be completely worth it?
