    My current competition shotgun, $12,000 with custom work. It took a long time for us to save up for it because there was no way I was financing it. The final push to be able to buy it was the last $5,000 when my mom passed away. Since she was my biggest fan and very supportive of me when I started competing, my hubby insisted that I take the money and us it for this rather than banking it as I thought we should do. (Did I mention I have a great hubby?)

    A Specialized Dolce Triple road bike. I think the 2nd would be either BodyCamp sessions at the gym (two months of intense training) and a VitaMix.

    I hate buying expensive things for myself...it just feels wrong to me when I could be saving the money or buy someone else something.

    But last December I bought myself the most expensive pair of earrings I've ever gotten. They were like $150. 14k white gold honu posts from a Hawaiian jewelry store. I hate jewelry but I had to have these. :smile:

    But that is aside from the electronics I buy. :laugh:

    I bought my freedom from the IRS one year for $27,000. Most difficult time I've ever had writing a check.

    Xbox + Kinetic, 2nd laptop because the 1st was semi broken and the desktop died (I say its for work ;} *wink, wink* ), pricey smartphone, Kindle Fire ---- I could live without all of these, but it would be harder, boringer (is that a word?) and more difficult at times.

    Since I don't have kids, I basically always ask myself - how much am I gonna use this? Am I gonna be using this next year? And most importantly - when is the next upgrade planned?

    Bought Kindle Fire less than 3 months ago, they released the HD for the same price.
    Bought FitBit Ultra less than 5 months ago, they release (2) new models that either would have worked better but I'm not popping for another at the price as the one I have. Really wish they would offer a trade in program (*hint hint FitBit people*).

    For myself, by myself? I'd have to say my BMW...that I sold before the warrenty ran out, and it became more expensive. I guess that counts. I will never spend $30k on a car again, however, I promise you that. Does that really count, though, since I sold it? I never owned it. I took out a loan.

    Things that I bought on my own, for me...Ooooh...my lawyer for my divorce. Only...my mom paid, and I'm still paying her back. But that was about $6k.

    ITEMS though? Ummm...maybe a pair of boots for $150-200? I don't spend much on myself. Not on things .I spend more on stuff like getting my hair done. Or a massage. Only my massage comes from Discover Card Cash Back Bonuses...so I don't pay technically.

    Sorry...I rambled. I tend to do that.

    Tie between my Gary Fisher/Tiburon CS hybrid bicycle and a Nikon D5100 DSLR Camera I just bought a few days ago. I don't have a need to drive atm so I've never bought a car.

    If I could I'd get the Honda Golf @ $18,000.

    Oh, and college. Year 4 now...oh god I don't even want to think of the number in loans... I'll either need to have a better job by the time I graduate or move to Canada.

    That's what happens when you're self-employed and don't pay quarterly taxes. :grumble:

    it was $8000.00 in 2008 and I deserved it after all my hard work. before then the most money I have spent on myself was my Grammy dress in 2007. this year (the day after Christmas) i plan on about $3000.00 on a new wardrobe because im about 10 pounds from my goal weight (mas o menos) right now.:bigsmile:

    Not counting something you make payments on, probably the Harley. Bought it with a wad of cash from a guy who had too many DUIs to keep it. Poor guy had put his heart and soul into the thing. His loss, my gain.

    :heart: the Coach outlet stores! Did you know they sell online too? You have to sign up for emails--they'll send you invites for online "events" that run for a day or two. As you purchase more online, they increase the frequency of the invites you receive. Now that pretty much my only purchases are from the online outlet, I get sale invites almost every day of the week!:blushing:

    My laptop that I bought back in early 2008. I got it on a President's Day sale for $575. I feel somewhat strange that at 26 years old, that is my biggest purchase to date...at least, that I can think of.

    And you are showing your back in your profile pic??:laugh:

    This summer I bought 15 fruit trees and planted a small orchard. The trees and all the fencing and such were around $500. I thought my husband was going to pass out since I didn't tell him how much it would be before hand. Now if we could just get the deer to quit eating the trees....
