    My fantastic car asid, probably the computer parts I purchased to put together my desktop. All of which I got at cost since my dad works for a computer/electronics supplier. Huzzah!

    A gun, something to put it in, and a reason to get someone to make you use it!

    Mine is my Jeep and all that went into it, as far as lift and tires which I purchased myself!!! Then I slapped a "Filthy, Dirty, Jeep Girl" sticker across the top of the windshield so my hubby and teenage son wouldn't be caught dead driving it!!!!

    Not including necessities (cars etc)

    My TV 1600$
    Lucky for me never had to pay for school.
    I prefer to spend all my money on my kids. And even then try not to overindulge to they are not spoiled.
    Most of our money goes to groceries/rent/etc.
    And now more frugal than ever as my job just shut down. boo

    Most expensive was my car. Still payin on it but it will be done by January.


    Most recent expensive for myself would be the HRM i got at walmart. Its amazing, I can go shopping and drop $60-$80 in clothes for my nieces and nephews but have a hard time justifying items for myself.

    I'm an outward person :happy:

    During my divorce, we sold the house and made quite a killing on it. I put the majority of the money in investments but I allotted myself $10,000 to spend on whatever I wanted. I got laser hair removal - never have to shave the pits or the "bikini area" ever again - and I took myself on a ten day spa/detox vacation. And I had money left over...

    Was on a business trip...passed by the dealership...it was the 30th...I loved this sports car there...gave them a ridiculous below factory price offer. Following day I was in a meeting still in town, got a call saying they would accept my offer if I would show up in half an hour.

    Go my vroom vroom car and they got their quota check for the month :)

    I don't count my car since it's a necessity - but mine would definitely my motorcycle!

    Peugeot 206 CC- £3500- spent the best part of a year saving what I could of my minimum wage to save up for that car. He is called Percy and is my pride and joy, a years worth of hard work went into him and a years worth of cruising with the roof down even in the cold has come out of him!

    Anything I buy it's for the household. I don't really spend a lot of money on myself.

    This...at least since we have had kids.
