What's the most expensive thing you've paid for

[cajunmom]

In the past month?

(A CC bill made up of a bunch of different small charges doesn't count.)

Brought to you by the $2473.24 check I just wrote for DD2's Acro class .

[schilauferin]

$2000.00 to the current car I own (company car from my step-dad's work) that was about 4 years ago...

more recent, 700 dollars to fix said car (twice, the past year-in-a-half) stupid timing belt, and front shocks, and engine bolt thing) but it is much better then a car payment

[ondaflipside]

$1,600 for next year's airfare to Spain for DH and I.

If rent counts, rent wins by far.

Otherwise, the largest item on my most recent credit card statement was $1765 for a hotel in Paris.

[M]

A deposit down on a new sofa, chair, and ottoman. It was $2100 and change. Another $6300 due when it arrives in 3 weeks. We did save $1000 because the color we wanted was actually one of two that they had on special.

[yellowbrkrd]

$1500 on fertility treatments.

[dr.girlfriend]

$1600 for a new electrical panel and line into the house.

[justjen]

Our new tempurpedic mattress. My first ever queen-size bed... DH and I have been on a full for far too long.

A vacation

[ESF]

I spent $675 on two new pairs of glasses two weeks ago. That was the after-insurance price. ($150 towards the first pair, 40% off the second pair.) After I was told the total, I contemplated just buying one pair, but after the amount of time I had spent in picking them out and falling in love with them, I was not able to pick just one to take home.

[steph96]

$1800 on new couches.

[Roc A Bee]

Last night $1052 for flights during Christmas.

[vmars]

$2k on an alarm system

[rikki]

Rent. If that is excluded then $1,700 on a bed and dresser.

Running shoes and orthotics $180ish

[SusanBAnthony]

500 to get some thing that I don't member the name of fixed on our 10 year old, 120k mile car. Pretty good deal, actually! Yay civics for never having repair bills.

We are still getting thousands of dollars of hospital bills for DH's surgery, but we have long since passed our OOP max for the year, so we don't owe anything luckily.

[krystee]

A car repair and DH's ground school (he's getting his pilot's license) were both right around $250. We almost pulled the trigger on $1,000 for airfare, but I think we're going to drive instead.

H paid $1100 for a package of golf lessons. We talked about this, but I didn't realize he was paying so much money up front.

The most expensive thing I've personally bought in the past month is an iPhone 5.

[Kore]

Hmm. New running shoes, I think. $110ish.

[Redpoppy]

Well I bought a new CRV but financed it. I put $1500 down on it though.

[dancingirl21]

$14,000 for a new furnace, AC, and some ductwork.

[UMaineTeach]

$268 boots

[rootbeerfloat]

Just under $1K to pay off a car loan.

[bunch]

Other than our mortgage, insurance and that jazz, $78 for brewing stuff to make pumpkin ale. Which is now almost gone :/

[Deleted]

$13,500 cash for countertops. Next to that is $4,500 for landscaping blocks.

[adlove]

A week at a resort. $3900.

[Deleted]

$800 for DH's dental work

We bought an iPad, but used gift cards from a credit card reward.

$195 for vet bill today,

[Deleted]

The shiny, pretty crown on my tooth. .

But my insurance kicks ass--it was about 150 total.

[Deleted]

DH got a $200 speeding ticket. I can't think of anything else that's not regularly occurring.

[mellymel]

$2,900 for property taxes on our rental property. Ugh. Money suck.
