    Non-neccessity item would be my LV purse & wallet and it was the best purchase ever...carry it every single day! Hubby doesn't know it yet but when I reach my goal, I'll be adding to my collection!:bigsmile:

    Besides my car. It would have to be my macbook and my mountain bike. Two of the best purchases I have ever made.

    Still haven't got around to it lol!! Oldest is 14 and my youngest is 5!! But, one of these days I will have my 69 Mustang Shelby Gt!!

    Ohhhh snap I forgot about my workout dvd's... P90x, TurboFire, TurboJam, Slim in 6, Rockin' Body, etc etc.... Let's just say all of Beachbody except for Body Gospel and Les Mills pump ha ha ha!! :laugh:

    Pretty sure that car is the only inanimate object I have ever had a sexual fantasy about :laugh: .

    Biggest splurge, My dog. A friend of the family breeds dogs and he had a litter (he only breeds his girl once every 2 years) and I saw photos fell in love. I saw the pictures at 7pm on a tuesday and I had my gril at 4pm on wednesday no thought or anything went into that purchase.. I don't regret doing it.

    I don't count my house or my truck because I consider those necessities and I put a lot of thought into what the purchase was.

    I bought myself a Louis Vuitton purse a couple years ago. I saved up birthday/Christmas money and my loose change for a looooong time, and then when I got the job I have now (which is with like my dream company/career) I got it for myself as kind of a congratulations gift. I have a couple other smaller LVs that I got as gifts, but never had the guts or the funds to buy one for myself. I will definitely carry it until it falls apart because it was embarrassingly expensive, but I love it so much!

    This is what it looks like (well, what it looked like when I got it...the handles/trim is a lot darker now):

    they still make this style?


    I've also bought myself a car, but that doesn't really count I guess since it was more out of necessity than for fun :smile:

    I Have this bag too and I LOOOVVEE it! Great taste :wink:

    I am 22, I work and live free of charge with my parents... so pretty much ALL my income is disposable and spent on silly things but the top would be

    - $16,000 for my car
    - $3,000 roughly each for a few overseas trips
    - $500 for a dress
    - $900 for a television
    - $1200 a year on gym/gym classes

    and then just your usual clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery, make up girly stuff haha

    Same here - I'm going to be paying for all of my education for a long long time, but it's a great investment :)

    A cruise. It really wasnt that expensive though.

    I am actually saving up money now to go to Australia. I have many friends there and would love to go see them.

    A vacation that I'm going on in two weeks! :) That's not really a tangible item though... I guess my Coach sunglasses probably.

    Not counting my house or daily driver, the most expensive thing I've purchased was my 81 Jeep CJ7. Between the original purchase price and all the work that's been done to it, I've got around $25k in it.

    Aside from my car, I bought a Peter Lik art piece which I've been wanting for several years now.. Wish I could've bought it then as the price has gone up since I first saw it. Was about $5500 and looks amazing!

    All my life I bought for others, never really thought about what I wanted it was what someone else wanted or needed. Now my husband buys me the things I really want or need. 2 expencive things I really want he will probly end up buying for me, Boob job and lasik surgury. So other than a house and a car, I dont think I ever bought myself any expensive.

    I can't think of the most expensive thing I have bought because I am so frugal.

    Just for myself? I guess that would have to be my last car, which I bought after my divorce and before my current relationship.
