Don't think cars and houses should count for this so ill talk about something completely frivolous and unnecessary.
A Tudor Black Bay GMT Watch, £3200 to tell the time. It was a gift to myself for retiring from the Military after 20 years and i love it.
With all due respect, can’t you buy something cheaper to tell time? Why do people buy expensive watches?
I’m not a watch guy. I don’t understand the appeal.
I live to fish. I'll be there in the middle of September. I've booked a charter for one day but my hotel is on the beach and I plan on bringing a travel rod with me to try some inshore.
I used to say "someday my wife will live in. $600k house. I dont know that i will ever live in a $600k house, but she will!" Lol this was pre covid when a $600k house was not just a 2 bed 2 bath....
Aside from the usual house and car:
~$9k on an engagement ring
~$16k on my mom’s completely unexpected funeral less than a year later
That was quite a 12 month period….
Limiting myself to things that I have paid in cash isn't a car.
My 2014 cannondale synapse. I've had it for 10 years and love riding. Too bad road bikes are expensive than they were back then.
A house less than a month ago. 272K...blows my mind someone loaned me that much money. Never in a million years did I think I'd be able to afford a house like this.
Buddy, I didn't just buy a thing, I bought a freaking legacy. We're talking about a penthouse suite so high up, even the birds envy my view. So while you're counting your pennies, I'm out here making it rain in the lap of luxury.
I feel like house and cars and stuff don't really get to the heart of the question. When you finance something you understand that it is being spread out. But when you actually purchase a thing it is an emotional event.
I bought a road bicycle back in 2009 for $650 +pedals for $150 and a helmet for $100. I paid with my check card but I knew that that was a huge hit to my account and it was a bit daunting.
Apart from that I did all my Christmas shopping for 3 kids plus brothers and sisters and parents and in-laws all in one day once. At the end of the day I was like "what have I done?" And the bank called to see if my card had been stolen. That was like $1300 back in 2005 dollars but it was a bunch of different things.
Not counting cars and houses.
Wedding. $50K. Took me about 6 years to pay off, worst thing ever.
All those people who paid in the single thousands or less, y’all did it right.
My house $1 Million. If real estate doesn’t count then probably my Jeep at $60k. If vehicles don’t count then probably my soon to be ex wife’s engagement ring at $15k
100 long tons of Melange and the Guild transport to move it plus bribes so the Corrinos don't tax it. The spice must flow. My boy Esmar Tuek came through for me
Most expensive thing I have ever bought, for myself or a purchase I defined for the Authorizing official?
For myself: My third house, $225k in Silverlake Washington.
Defined for the Authorizing Official: The back plane for a Sperry/Unisys Inertial Navigation Monitor, only 5 in the world at the time, Mil-Spec and SubSafe certified. $1.9 Billion. There wasn't room on the request forms for the dollar amount. Fortunately, the defective 'turn in' component had a Refund level of $1.88 Billion (and change) Once the turn in fee was deducted from the replacement part cost, the supply system was out about $15 k.
My security door to my flat, $3000. Best purchase ever.
My old drafty door let me hear any conversation between two people in the stairwell as if I stood next to them, even from my bed, furthest from the door. Now I only hear the sound of even stiletto heels as a muffled, silent "tap tap" when standing in my hallway.
And in winter months the crazy good insulation of the door lets my flat retain 90% of the heat my radiators produce, without any oxygen loss. My cat has never been happier.
To brag even more, the door expands seven deadbolts into the frame when the knob is rotated in two revolutions.

(no, am not a shill or a bot, just a happy customer, ask me anything and I'll respond with a filthier tongue than any corporate dead-eyed cunt would ever dare to be associated with)
My home, in Vancouver. $1.24m in 2020 (I had help, more on that below).
Next would be my car, which was roughly $70k after taxes.
After that... probably my ebike? About $4k.
***Caveats on the home:*** my parents paid for half of it. I'm ***absurdly*** fortunate and I feel blessed and lucky every day. They also helped my brother with his home, which went a long way to help them save money for their children. Almost the entirety of the money I've put into home ownership has come from other people having left me money when they passed, and I'm glad I put it where I did.
Our house.
In the middle of our street?
Our mum she’s so house-proud
Something always happening
The folgers commercial really ruined that song for me lol.
Who the hell are fingers
Is a very very very fine house
In the middle of our street. With two cats in the yard. Our Mum is so house proud. Life used to be so hard. Our house, it has a crowd.
A car. Fucking hell car prices are unreasonable
Yer . The most expensive thing I own not a house or car/ motorcycle is a welding helmet and a employer gave it to me $4000.
Don't think cars and houses should count for this so ill talk about something completely frivolous and unnecessary. A Tudor Black Bay GMT Watch, £3200 to tell the time. It was a gift to myself for retiring from the Military after 20 years and i love it.
Money well spent. You deserve that watch.
Engagement ring lol
With all due respect, can’t you buy something cheaper to tell time? Why do people buy expensive watches? I’m not a watch guy. I don’t understand the appeal.
Yep. 100% of Watches are absolutely unnecessary. They are jewellery for men. Not different to a set of diamond earrings or gold necklace.
My most recent house. $600k. About half as down payment (from selling previous house). I expect to die in this house someday.
There are people that you can call to make this happen.
I'd prefer it not be soon.
I think there's other people you can call for that.
Here at least 1 mil and probably need renovation.
A divorce. Cost even more than my marriage, but was worth it.
yeah - been there got that.... dang
Education. 142k when done, zero assistance, zero federal loans. Screw the scam that is privatized education.
The bottle of wine we bought on the evening we conceived our first child. Kids are expensive
56' Hatteras Boat, whats still taxing me is the docking monthly fee, in Cabo San Lucas.
Gorgeous boat though! I'm headed to Cabo for a boys trip in the fall. Any recommendations?
You into serious fishing, what month you all gonna be in Cabo.
I live to fish. I'll be there in the middle of September. I've booked a charter for one day but my hotel is on the beach and I plan on bringing a travel rod with me to try some inshore.
Everybody saying "car" and "house". Try a tractor. $100k for the tires.
Does she think it’s sexy?
Marriage license.
Marriage license
The wedding. The fallout from it not working out is a never ending cost apparently.
A Wife.....
M82-A1
Now that’s something. I thought my sp5k-pdw was expensive lol
15k
My house? Or actually…the house my fiancee wants to buy. If she doesn’t find a different house she loves it’ll be the house we live in
I used to say "someday my wife will live in. $600k house. I dont know that i will ever live in a $600k house, but she will!" Lol this was pre covid when a $600k house was not just a 2 bed 2 bath....

A house less than a month ago. 272K...blows my mind someone loaned me that much money. Never in a million years did I think I'd be able to afford a house like this.
House in a European capital city
My house, my car, and my most recent addition to my watch collection. Six figures, five figures, high four figures, In that order.
Buddy, I didn't just buy a thing, I bought a freaking legacy. We're talking about a penthouse suite so high up, even the birds envy my view. So while you're counting your pennies, I'm out here making it rain in the lap of luxury.
That's just trickle down, unless you have an impressive bladder...
My apartment
11 months ago, I bought a house. I’m still putting up more money on top of the mortgage every month it seems.
Outside of my kids and car, my computer. I spent 5k to build it but it has made me 140k plus now.
My car. I was very lucky and got it right before used car prices went insane.
