    My car and degree are up there. Does my eye surgery count? Best investment ever, $4500! I suppose for a smaller item my iPad but I used birthday money plus also wrote it off as an expense, I do consulting work on the side.

    I bought myself a house when I was 22. It was a fixer upper, but I figured why pay rent. Plus I was young enough to spend my evenings and weekends painting, plumbing, electrical, cabinet work with my grandpa's expertise.

    $500 on a custom tailored 3 piece suit. Well worth it. I just need friends to get married or people to kick the bucket so I can wear it more often.

    Grad school :sick:

    Other than that (and not counting daily driver/the house), I'm pretty much a cheapskate :smile:

    My graduation gift to myself -- my puppy :) Having a dog is not cheap but it's oh so worth it.

    Dogs are the best!

    Isn't that the truth! But, I should tell you that my dog is the best of the best, hands down :)

    My Corgi puppy was 700$

    I know money isn't supposed to buy happiness and friendship, but in this case I think an exception has to be made

    <3 Love you lildog!

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

    Same here. Just bought it in June. Best thing I could have ever done for myself. :)

    Blew $1600 on a year of personal training. Didn't even ask the hubby, just bit the bullet and went for it. When I got home and told him, I saw all the blood drain out of his face. Then I told him to picture coming home from work a year from now and being greeted at the door and handed a cold beer by a sexy wife wearing about 2.5 inches of lace and string. After that, he was good with it.

    But when I signed that contract, I have to admit, I thought there was at least a 35% chance I'd vomit.

    Horses and all their accessories.... I refuse to add up their total annual costs. They're less expensive than psyco-therapy, though!

    I bought myself braces when I turned 20. So happy with that decision.

    A 3 week vacation to India and Nepal when I was 20. Learned a LOT from that trip!
    Apart from that.. €200,- on a pair of Prada heels.. Sooo pretty! And they were half off!! :embarassed:

    Edit: Next year I'll be doing my masters degree which will cost me about €20.000.. The thought already scares the living daylights out of me!
