    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..

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

    Can't be a normal american without having at least some sort of arm in the home. I truly feel badly for the hoplophobes.

    My house should totally count even though it's for the "family units" it's paid for!

    My car. It's a little Kia hatchback (pretty sure it was the cheapest new car available at the time) but I bought it brand new, and it was definitely just for me - not for my ex or anyone else.

    Outside of my car, my most expensive purchase was my Corral boots. If I remember correctly, they were about $200. And worth every penny!

    stupid spending on myself stuff was the following:

    Louis Vuitton Epi Leather & a Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim as well as Bvlgari sunglasses. I have a few pairs of D&G sunglasses but they cost less than the Bvlgari so I don't classify them as stupid (yeah I know I'm kidding myself).

    Are we counting homes or vehicles? If not, then I would say a computer.

    My house. I purchased it 9 years ago. It was a goal of mine to have a house by the time I was 30.

    A failed college education, ha ha.

    But really, my laptop was 1500 dollars. That's about it.

    I also have a Modern MTG deck worth probably 900 dollars, but I doubt I shelled out for all those cards.

    My wedding dress.

    Recently, I paid for my Spartan sprint registration, $300 worth of gas, plus the hotel room and meals just to go prove to myself that I can handle more than I think I can. And to meet two friends from mfp. :drinker:

    About 6 years ago when some of our investments were doing really well I splurged on this. Probably the last watch I will ever buy.

    Breitling for Bentley Motors T
