I bought over $3000 dollars worth of clothes one time back in 2008. Shoes, pants, shorts, shirts. From Sears, JC Penny, Kole's, Target, The Mall ( not sure about the stores where I made my purchases) I just shopped to where ever was appealing to me. I have a good line of credit and had lots of cash. I went crazy. I got tired of wearing these ugly jeans with holes in the knees so I said " Dam it, I have a good job make decent money but dress like S##T!" So I thought what the hell. Most of those clothes lots of them I still have and haven't even wore some of them. Maybe just once. If I had a GF she probably would've slapped me for doing all that in one day.

$1700 on a new bed...

Make sure you don't leak in it.

2000: I bought a white little girl's bedroom set, without the bed, for $600: Dresser; beureau; nightstand; headboard, to replace my 50+yl/o boy's set that was just about ready to go 10-7, a smaller dresser, an armoire, washer and drier plus delivery. Total cost $1306.00 and not one rubber sheet or pair of rubber panties or diaper or dress: Not even a tiara or dolly

Wife's boobs - $3000 I'm such a lucky guy XD

The next highest would probably be my roller skates, if you don't count my car.

$23,000 Down payment on my condo in 1990 ($85,000 purchase) after that in 2002 I bought my 2001 Mustang and paid cash for it ($15,000) so I wouldn't have to have payments *shrug* $2100 new tranny for my car on my credit card back in 2010.. I'm sure there is more, just can't think of it.

In spite of what others might think or say, having money is a responsibility and a liability...nd a problem..It's not all champagne (or chocolate milk) and roses

I didn't know a sextant was so expensive!

[poopy_dipes]

Sounds like you're redecorating. When finished, post some pictures!

That's good you value your sleep and do whatever it takes to make yourself get a good nights rest. When you think about it that's around $4 a night. i have to get a new mattress myself as mine is a little hard and I have two sides to choose from, one has a 2"memory foam on one side (it gets too warm, so I switch after 4 hours). My wife sleeps in a different room because of my tossing and turning.

This year: $6,300 on two first class tickets to Hawaii.

Single transaction? Have to be the $8200 for hardwood floors and installation. Well worth it, allergies down, maintenance down, bonus all around.

Wow this topic makes me feel like the cheap ass university student I really am.

The largest transaction I've had to makes is just over £3000 on university tution fees for the year and after that barely anything I buy reaches triple digits. Heck that's the point of studying at University though isn't it, so I can be like all you crazy spenders.

[lilJester]

most i spent at once was about 1500 on a truck when i was a teen. There went the savings that was set up for me *sigh*

A $4,200 HD video camera. Nicest camera I have had the luxury of using/owning (though I did get to work with a crew that was using a RED ONE).

[theringwrath]

I just spent $5000 on my surgeon. Gastric sleeve on sept 20th.

[sarah_ab]

@justjoe... yes thats the point fo going through those poor university years! i went through them for far longer than your typical four years. We have been saving for a long time to get a new bed... its not as if we just magically had that much money!!!

I'll tell you though, after i swiped my card and entered my pin number, i had a mini anxiety attack realizing how much money i just spent!
