House, then car (s), then probably holidays.

scuwp: My wife and kids

You bought them?

No up front payment, but the monthly installments are monumental! :-)

Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

Top five things (in order): current house, previous house (*), house extension, landscaping, car. Yawn.

(*) sold it for a profit so does that count?

Life.

No I'm not being depressive, its just an ongoing cost :D

it's a one of cost that is worth every cent.

... and you can get a full, no-questions-asked, refund on judgement day if you have played your cards right on the way through.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Up there - do they use precious metals, fiat currency, bitcoin, casino chips?

House

Car(s)

...But these were/are financed - though obviously with significant capital as well.

The most expensive thing(s) I have bought outright with "real cash" was probably either my last Macbook Pro or my most recent speakers - both around the $4k mark and the couch which was $6k

My Top 5:

House, Apartment (sold), Wedding, Car, Engagement Ring.

Hmm seeing as SWMBO was heavily involved in 4/5 of those costs maybe there is some truth in previous comments.

Ah well, Happy Wife Happy Life or so the saying goes

afe66: House
University education
Car
46" Sony bravos in 2008
mechanical Swiss watch (post exam reward)

Reminds me, and I wear it every day.

We bought (so I guess it counts) me an expensive Swiss watch. Cost more than the Missus' car. That has to go on the list I suppose (it is one of only 3 bits of jewellery we have listed seperately on our insurance).
