Just curious as to what you would buy if you had ~$5-6000 to spend. A new OLED TV? A top-end gaming laptop/tower? *

A bit less than 1% of my house?
Might be time to replace the i7-2600K PC one of these years, and wouldn't mind upgrading the 55" TV to 65".
Keep calm, and carry on posting.

I just replaced my i7-2600 just a few weeks back. Upgraded to a Ryzen 7 with 32GB RAM. Sooo much better!
If I had a spare $5-6k to spend, I'd get one of the latest and greatest graphics cards, a 4k monitor, and a VR headset.
New mountainbike, finish my Civic.
Though I'm about to buy a house, so I'm currently not doing anything exciting with spare money, just keeping it aside.
I might replace my teeth. But $6,000 isn't nearly enough.

I would go and buy those really expensive camouflage trousers, but I usually can never find any.

Hmmm - decisions, decisions!
Adding it up, I would have spent about that on my new Gaming/media/everything PC + 11" iPad Pro just last month 😳
Should last me a while at least (Hah!) and TBF I did "downsize" my tech life in the process, selling my MacBook Pro, old iMac and old PC which funded around 60% of that outlay!
I already have my "perfect" (for now) 2 ch HiFi so don't need to invest in that for quite some time (I believe the current NZ list price of my speakers alone is around the magic $6k mark with the amp not far behind, but again - I didn't actually pay anywhere near that much after some wheeler-dealing and trade in!)
So if you were to give me that money today, I would probably finally make the move to 4k and OLED and replace my existing Sony TV (continues to serve me well TBH) for around $3k and then spend the remainder on a pair of Audeze LCD3 headphones and amp...
When can I expect the money in my account?

$6k would buy a lot of soup...
We came into a bit of extra cash a few months back and Mrs Floyd suggested we should each have a $2000 slush fund. Here’s what I bought
Happy boy with new toys
(Slightly overspent but I also had some spare notes in a drawer and I can claim tax & GST back on the monitors.)
Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?
