The most amount of money you have spent on something is...?

[Silversorrow]

House: $555,000.

[twelvethirty]

you should all add the interest on those mortgages, friends.

14k car.

[Witchblade77]

Anyone who owns their home is going to say house.

I would imagine the next up would be their car.

Not much in a single purchase will equal a car or property. Unless people sum up stuff for a degree or something like that.

house yes. car - no :P at least not yet. our current car was cheaper than our furniture. granted - it was enough furniture to furnish the house, but it was still about eight thousand total, maybe 9? (didn't buy everything at the same store) car was ... less :P

oh wait, right - single purchase. well.. $6000 for one of the stores... still... less then a car :P

[Shortsy]

Building my computer took a whopping $1150. But I have a limted edition Star Wars framed set of artwork worth closer to $2500, didn't pay half of that, though.

House. $1,250,000.

Is it a two and a half in Vancouver?

[Ratboy]

At 1 time is $3500 cash for my car.

[Felicia]

If we count cars... 10.3k on a car... taxes and registration included, etc. If we're not counting cars... then my husband's gaming laptop for 1,400 dollars. Would have bought him a desktop, but he's in the Navy and needed something mobile for when he deploys. We had the extra money, so we bought the damn thing :P

[jellmoo]

House > Car > Central Air (addon)

After that, it just kind of goes to things like furniture/electronics/computers...

Probably going to redo the windows this summer, so that's likely going to be taking over either the second or third spot on the list.

[lockedout]

Interesting. The base assumption I made is if someone can afford $18.5k for jewelry they likely have bought a car for more, or a house. Interesting that isn't the case here!

If you read what I wrote I said I have bought more expensive things like the two mentioned but to not give the same generic answers I mentioned something else that was a large purchase.

[IIamaKing]

110k, house. I imagine for any one who has a house, thats the big one.

[Dug]

Excluding car/living I spent $1200 on my PC

[IIamaKing]

Edit-Numbers are hard

[JohnBrown1917]

If it only took you a few months to save up $3k, you're hardly poor.


OT,
Probably the floor in my apartment.

[Actarius]

IMO, the better question is where do you live that 125k is shockingly high for a house.

He said he paid 1.25 million, not 125k. 125k is a bit low, I'd expect to pay in my area 150k-200k.

No shit where I live you cant get a 1 bedroom condo for less then like $200k on topic at once like $1800 on computer parts overall like 5000-6000 since my first build in like 2008 this is all Canadian rubles though so less for most of you

1.2M is a tad higher than 125k

You missed a zero.

~$1,500 for a PC. If i exclude education and stuff...

[Lady Dragonheart]

Roughly 1,800k on land for a few housing developments. I'm not certain of the total development cost however, it's technically still ongoing.

[MatthewOU2015]

All cash: $6500 for my first car when I was 19.

Financed: $34,000 for my car when I was 23

Yep, he really did huh? Fuck you numbers.
