To ask , what has been your most expensive purchase?

[BigSteve]

Apart from house

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

£50k on IVF. Sadly no baby.

If excluding house and something solely mine not a joint purchase probably an item of jewellery that I bought following major surgery, was in the region of 5k, I love it as much now as I did then (owned it for almost 10 years), as shallow as it sounds if simply brings me joy, if on a terrible day of pain due to my disability, I look at it or put it on it does make me feel better so to be it was worth every penny

Our backpacking honeymoon - £40,000 ish. The wedding barely cost anything though and we were away for 10 months.

Then the kitchen followed by a car.

Business class return flights to Australia.

for Bananafish

Apart from cars (which only cost about 1k) i can't think of anything overly expensive we have bought.
DH bought a laptop for £429 so probably that.

It would have been my living room furniture, it's gorgeous and would have been about 3k. I got it for £150 as it was damaged (there's nothing visibly wrong with it)

Car probably which was £20k.

Then probably my computer which was £1500.

After that nothing really exceeds £100 because I’m pretty tight with money normally in terms of clothes etc.

Discounting house/car/holidays/wedding, then the most expensive thing I own is my engagement ring, but DH paid for that, so I suppose my iPhone.

£4.2k on our motorhome. That was a bargain though, it should have been £6k or so.

We need a new kitchen, will hopefully get it done this year. I doubt if that will come in at less than the motorhome!

@bananafish81 that's harsh. I'm so sorry.

I'm intrigued by 40k backpacking...where did you go? Everywhere?

Car,

Followed by laptop and games console.

But actually nothing in our house is worth that much, as we realised when we were doing our contents insurance!

My degree

My most expensive impulse buy was probably a Timberland leather jacket. I went off it soon after and gave it to a charity shop.

My new sofa

My kitchen was £10,000.

Before we had it done it was hanging massive hole where all the drawers had fallen apart and I love cooking.

Three years on it still feels like new

Definitely my car, brand new golf with every added extra😍

House, car, musical instruments, pram, laptop, handbag, phone.

Depressing isn’t it.

My car, after that it would be holidays, I live for holidays.

Personal expenditure - Mulberry Bayswater and Burberry coat, both about £5-600.

We've spent a lump of £1k-£2k a few times on the sofa, honeymoon, California holidays, furniture spree for new house x 2.

Car was worth £7k but MiL gave it to us!

After house, £75,000 on a beautiful piece of woodland.

We go camping, walking, have picnics, harvest wood for our wood burner and generally love it!

My degree and post grad, £10k and counting 💸💸

Car by some considerable margin, followed by mountain bike.

My kids. Adoption fees and travel expenses probably added up to €70,000 for the 2 kids.

Apart from my house and car, a watch that cost £6700.

A bit of an indulgence but when my DM passed away and I sold her house I treated myself before I invested the rest for my old age.

My car, a BMW M135i. It cost £19k, and it’s worth every penny except when it snows, at which point it becomes entirely useless and is incapable of getting itself off the drive.
