To ask , what has been your most expensive purchase?

[BigSteve]

Apart from house

I would say my laptop cost £800 so probably that.

The house, I no longer think about the price we paid for it as it has brought us so much happiness.

Former

Circa 60k on IVF!

The most we've spent on a single physical purchase though is our touring caravan which was 18k.

Awwwwww veryimportantcake

My car
Then my flute - about 1200 pounds.

After house, car and holidays, my wedding dress. £1k

My university course.

My computer, I built it in bits when I see them on sale. But altogether over £1,000.

DC1 through privately funded IVF
DC2 arrived unexpectedly 14 months later for free

Ds and his education, especially the 4 years at uni. Dh's glider and trailer. My cast iron, roll top,claw footed, F&B spray painted bath. Roll on next year when I will back in UK for good and can use it nightly, with a book and a glass of something chilled.

Chanel bag nearly 5k.

For DH it'd be his car.

Mortgage paid off a lump sum to complete
Assorted musical instruments
Car (dh, not me)

Car
Horse
Dogs
Road trips around America, infrequent but always very expensive.

Ignoring house/extensions/overall cost of new kitchens and bathrooms and car/motorhome and ongoing costs of children and dogs...

In last year most expensive individual purchases have been a Miele steam combination oven and a Fama sofa.

Most expensive decision was to stay part-time despite all DC being over 12 now, that really costs the most financially.

Besides house and car my most expensive purchase would be my Louboutan shoes. £425 a few years ago for a pair of glossy Iriza, and I love them. They hurt like buggery but I feel so very glamorous wearing them. They also look great with skinny jeans.

I should add, that the shoes are my most expensive purchase. Boring things like sofa at £2k I’ve not considered to be my own.

Don't own my own house or my own car

Probably my phone which cost £600 new

Then my bed £500 with mattress (well worth it, it's still very comfy 7 years later)

Car. Think it was about 6k.

Travelling as we've done oz and nz a few times. Each time probably costs around 5k.

House extension cost 16k last year and new kitchen this year is going to be approx 10k.

I shop in primark for clothes though

House
Car
Holiday
New flooring
New oven
2nd hand Mulberry handbag

House
House remodelling £22k
Floor £5k
Hot tub £11.5k

After car, my teeth: having Invisalign braces to finally sort out by hideously crooked jaw. It is actually costing me almost as much as my car!

My DS. Thank you Investment Bank bonuses.

Apart from the obvious house, car big ticket furniture items I spent 2.5k on having my 4 front teeth veneered last year.

Best 2.5k I've ever spent, my smile is now soooo much better!

Apart from house and car - a real oak parquet floor in our dining room. I love it.

After my car it'd be my bureau. I'd always wanted one and bought a beautiful made to order one for over £1k.
