The most expensive item ever purchased for YOURSELF?

karynspeace

Curious... most of my "crowd" are moms and we all talk about how we spend our money on our kids instead of ourselves. Funny how things change. Now, my DH... I came home to a brand new four wheeler in the front yard one time... no discussion, no warning, just "ta da!".

I have two items to list: I bought myself a pair of square cut 1 carat diamond earrings when I became a mom, AND I had lasix eye surgery. One was probably shallow but the other was the best money I have ever spent in my life.

Everyone else?

I bought myself a handgun. That would be the most expensive thing. Second would be a Coach purse for $150. I buy everything on sale though..

I bought a motorcycle... I was out "just looking" and then I ehh.. tripped... and bought one just like that...

Guess I was crazy that day - but I haven't regretted it one second :laugh:

A telescope for my 39th birthday. I never got gifts from anyone else so I figured why not!

Laser eye surgery - best thing I've ever done
Sari - it was for a friend's wedding, but because I'd spent so much on it, I wear it to every single wedding I go to now lol

I bought a Lexus on my lunch hour once. Just went to test drive, loved it, was convinced by sales guy it was the "last of that color", so I bought it. Husband was pretty surprised when I got home.

OOh, forgot about that one, but it wasn't very expensive - can't be a gal from Texas and not be packing heat!

A house. I never quite finished paying for that one though.

Probably my computer. But that was also sort of a necessity and it was on sale.

I occasionally splurge on clothes, travel, and theatre tickets. Aside from rent, bills, gas, and groceries, that's probably where most of my money goes.

My next pricey purchase will probably be a dress form. I've been wanting one for ages.

The most expensive non-necessity item I ever bought was a Harley Davidson Road King (Police Special)
I went with a friend to Daytona Beach to the police auction. He was looking to buy a bike and I had the truck. On a whim, I bought one for myself.

I am such a thrifty shopper when it comes to myself that I seriously can't think of anything. I don't count cars or houses since they're technically not mine. Hmmm....I am such a cheapskate! All I can think of is black leather Kenneth Cole boots, the tag said $300+ but I bought them at Ross for $55!!!

House and cars and investments and furniture aside,

I don't think I've spent more than a couple grand on a toy. I think my 5D MKII camera is the most expensive.

I just bought a Skeeter ZX2250 Bay boat with a 250 Yamaha. :smokin:

A cruise.

I'm normally not the type of person to spend money, let alone on something that I can't physically see for years, but I needed a vacation so I took one. I went way over my budget, but I don't regret it. The memories are worth it.

Custom lasik surgery for my birthday 8 years ago!! Best money ever spent... of course I have bought myself cars that cost way more but those were necessities! I do not consider them splurges. :happy:
