Just bought a $700 drawing tablet with my savings and I plan on upstaging that with a $800 VR headset later down the line.
What's the most expensive thing you've bought? Keep in mind I'm not talking about anything relating to cars or houses.
I have 6 ounces of gold. 2 coins and 4 bars
They cost me roughly 1000 each 10 or so years ago. they'd be 1500 ish now
My riding lawnmower. I spent $400 on it. It's broke down now.
I bought a furnace and ducts once. Cost me about 3 grand.
Back in 1992, I spent $400 on a life membership in the American Motorcyclist Association.
I haven't been able to afford a motorcycle in years.
probably my current guitar, an ibanez sg which cost £500. I bought an amp for it for £350 at the same time.
I spent thousands of dollars over 2 years to get this

My Liverpool supporters shirt: cost me ZAR950.
A woman's freedom from slavery.
A church near me sponsored a mission to Cambodia that helped women caught in sex trafficking escape to better lives, and a woman and her criminal partners were running a brothel, and she told the missionaries she wanted out of the business and she'd sell all four of their sex workers for a certain amount of money "that day only" otherwise she was selling them to another sex trafficker who would be moving them to a part of Cambodia notorious for even more terrible goings on.
The missionary called the home church frantic for money to make this deal and because I was on a donors list (having been made aware of the horrors of sex slavery because someone I know helps fund the fight against it) I pledged enough to buy one contract and set a woman free.
It wasn't cheap but I'm glad I could.
I spent about $1,000 each on a couple of comic books around 10 years ago: TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 (1st appearance of Iron Man) and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1. Sold them on eBay after a few months for very small profits. I should have held onto them as they are worth a lot more now.
My turquoise corset was $217 with tax that I bought on Black Friday at a Ren-fest.

You should be very proud of yourself. Your story is stunning. :thumbup:
