That is not a house or a car or a house necessity like air conditioners, refrigerators, or other appliances, etc. It would be boring if everyone just had to say their furnace or something. Furniture, electronics, TVs and things like that count though.
It’s clear what expensive means. But by valuable, meaning something’s monetary value, not just personal value. [Reply]

I will give you a disapproving look for ignoring the rules in the opening post, but I will congratulate on you paying off your house. That's a great feeling, isn't it? [Reply]

It's hard to let go. Almost as hard as the vintage screw down. Which might be the single most expensive thing there. Did I mention it was vintage? [Reply]

Within the rules, I would say my pew-pew collection = most expensive/valuable thing(s) I own. Especially if you include accessories and their now extremely overpriced "food" :-) [Reply]

My vehicles would probably count. I’ve got a 2019 Tacoma that was not cheap. Snowmachine wasn’t cheap. Snowmachine was a bit more than the fur coat. Hot tub was about the same price as the snow machine. Got it installed and all the electronics going in the last couple of weeks. Right now it’s pretty hot* so we are lowering the temp to about 80 in the hot tub and using it to cool down. But I am looking forward to the winter when I can go sit in it during a snow storm.
Those would probably be my most expensive items aside from house, etc.
* for those who want to know, that would be high 70s. We hit 80 today. I can count on one hand the years we hit 80 here. And I know it’s not nearly as hot as KS or TX or AZ, but: 1) we aren’t used to it at all. An average summer day is low 60s; 2) we have no air conditioning; 3) even if the temp isn’t high, the sun shines on our house until midnight so we have an extra 4ish hours of direct sunlight that just heats our house. So it’s nice that the hot tub can be adjusted to be a ‘cool tub’.

I’ll agree to this!! I primarily only buy perinnials now. My ultimate goal is to have color year round in my yard (which is a challenge in the harsh Kansas winters). Wife specifically told me no more plants 2 weeks ago, then I came across some really cool stuff at the farmers market. Whoops!!! [Reply]
Bought my wife a real Louis Viton purse on our 20th anniversary. They're all sales final so I couldn't return it and this fugger doesn't even like/use it. Maybe the 1st week only before she shelved it for her normal "old lady/ child suitcase" purse.
