Most expensive thing you bought?

[8BitWonder]

Most expensive thing this year was a Microsoft surface. Granted I got a nice student discount, but was still ~$350.

 

[Deleted-355425]

My car, was about 15 grand.

 

[Xoo00o0o0o]

My car was 20,000. I bought it in March

 

[astrangeone]

This year? A $200 used New Nintendo 3DS XL.

For myself this year it was a $35 swiss army knife + custom copper scales + accessories. Comes in at over $150. And I'm not done yet - I need to pick up some plastic polish.

On my own money... a Nikon D7000 with 18-105 for slightly over a thousand, which in these 3 years has served me very well between cosplay events, tourism across the world, and circuit board scans

Most expensive thing? Laptop 620 euro it was 2007

 

[Gnarmagon]

For me that would be a HP laptop from 2012 which i wish i can upgrade without spending as much as i did for it. The fan is a huge problem now and only works when it wants to, and i hate intergrated graphics cards by intel, it sucks, is supposed to run the graphics card that is added to the system but it dosent.

Most Expensive one was my Laptop for around 1400€ in May.
The most stupid thing that i bought was my New Nintendo 3DS XL for 200€ + 2 Games (for Exploit) that costed me 260€ and now I broke my 3DS completely and everything was for the Dustbin...(bought in November)

Many years ago it was held that computers were the third big expense a family might make, after house and car. Surprising to see it is still a big purchase for so many around here.

 

[Gnarmagon]

Haha with 14 I am not able to buy a Car or a House (at least in Germany xD)

 

[mightymuffy]

Hmmm... do mortgages count? Coz I'm of course still paying for mine - £127,000...
Car was £12,000 of which I paid about £4500 cash, rest part ex, so that was probably my biggest single payment.... recently had to fix both my roof and guttering totalling just over £3000, so that's my biggest recent payment (tried my luck with the insurance but was hoping for a sex-starved woman visitor, which didn't happen )
Gaming/computing wise, oooh, £1200-ish back in 1990-plonk for a Pentium 200MMX with 16MB RAM and a 2GB HD.... was the dogs bollocks at the time, but I tell the lads about it and they're like 'fukk me, sounds like the dark ages!'

Owning a computer is essential now and days, so is comprehendable that this be so which is high demand for lots of people. Home, transportation, and computers are starting to be a common regulation for most homes, which is something i noticed.

Is also surprising that TV aren't something common people mention to spend lots of money on, now that they are fairly expensive for the "Best in home entertainment, smart tv, with Ultra 4K HD, HDR, and plenty of apps like the on demand streaming services to watch all the best quality videos on." But i mean i guess no one watches tv as much as they did back in early 2000 when cable network was popular instead of regular radio receivers

We might have turned the corner though and plenty of people get by with a phone/tablet as their primary computing device. Equally since computers stopped needing to improve and refurb/ex company machines went nearly free or very cheap the notion of spending a lot of money on a computer seems somewhat less pressing than it was before.

On TVs maybe we are all sensible and have realised built in features are all scams or junk, thus we all have bog standard 1080p (or better) screens and fire a computer/console/rasp pi through them.
