What's been your largest purchase in the last year?
 

Over the last year, what's the largest item you've purchased in terms of cash? I've been a pretty light spender but I'm about to drop around 280k on a home (I can't fucking wait!)... How about you?

40G's on a New Car

and 300K+ on a new house


:helpme

You're dropping $280k in cash on a house?!

My biggest cash purchase in the last year had to be my $500 digital camera.

:Oh crap

1 Mill on a condo in Whistler would be by far my biggest this last 12 months (no mortgage).

biggest CASH purchase was my new 15In TiBook.

Didin't fucking pay cash for my condo...lol..interest rates are too low.

:glugglug

I just supersized my McD's menu!!! And I bought a boat

Sorry.. I meant I'd be putting the down payment on a $280k home. It'd actually just be dropping around 30k. It's still the largest purchase I've ever made. :thumbsup

You're right ElvisManson... Rates are GREAT!

something about spending 280k in one purchase is just scarey.

I'm getting a new condo april 1st ... nothing really huge but it's in one of the wealtiest place of the city and it's very nice ;)

Not really considering the RE market trends out here in Vegas. Resales on phase 1 of this community are selling at $310,000 already. This is the last phase and I'm praying that I get in. The home market out in Vegas is on the rise, yet it's a pain in the ass getting top placement on reservation lists. There's a VERY high demand out here. :thumbsup

I just wish I can spend as much as you guys do. I'm still saving up and haven't really been buying anything in the past year. I'll probably spend for a trip soon.

Do you think the vegas property wil go up as much this next year as it did last year?

nothing yet this year

sure.. http://board.gofuckyourself.com/show...hreadid=105598

i love jealousy. it's truly a bitch. hehe

Biggest cash purchase this year would be my Altima 24K.

i'm jealous that i cant lie about a fake airplane ride?

nope. jealous that you have nothing, and spend your days lurking this message board for the slightest inconsistency.

you are a joke. want to compare stats? want to compare bank accounts? want to compare anything that would indicate success?

nope. you are someone who lives in the parent's basement. at best making a little beer money. end of story.

if you had half of single ball, you wouldn't be trying to conceal your identity. hehe.

well since I just sold my house for a $100,000 profit, I just paid cash for a new Horse ($10,500), building a new barn at my new house ($19,000), and the fence to go around the property ($13,000)

I only put 20% down on the house.

I cant see the property in vegas going up any more then it is. Its already at insane prices for this area.
My house sold 12 hours after it was listed - to a california investor, sight unseen.
Lived in it 2 years and made a $100,000 profit.


The prices in vegas is why I am moving to phoenix.

wow there are alot of millionaires on GFY. how do u guys do it

my house

my car.

Want to see my pics?

Sadly enough it was my Mercedes Tractor :helpme

Biggest purchase last year wa sour house, paid cash for it. No need to worry about interest rates.

This year I guess it was our holiday in Thailand. $5-6K all in I think.

new house...not saying how much:)

biggest purchases within the last 12 months would be $780k on my house, $45k for new truck. Biggest purchase all cash out in one shot goes to "accountant fees": $2100. If that doesn't qualify as a purchase, then next in line is...

Vegas convention (plane ticket & room): $2000
Notebook: $1800
Bed: $1800
Fridge: $1800
Washer & Dryer: $1600

I can see the trend shifting to luxury condos. People want properties that serve as vacation homes, or that don't need personal maintanance. Since I'm not a family man yet, I'm planning on grabbing one of these properties in an ideal location. I believe Vegas will keep growing for the next couple of years until it tops off like it has in LA. It has to, to stop these investors from stealing all of the homes that families want to buy. It's pretty bad when you have a list of 400 people fighting for 30 homes. :2 cents:

Very nice purchases Amp. Glad to see you're doing so well! It's also great to see everybody else living great as well. :thumbsup

I guess it's my new french car , around $78k :thumbsup

Just bought a 6plex here in Newport Beach. 1.7M

Didnt have to use my money though ;) why would you...

Just a big profit share holder when condoization completes and I unload all the units by October for 3M+.

I got me one of these at the first of the year. Gotta love luxory.

Nice ride Arial :)

Great thinking Ganja! :thumbsup

I spent $3.49 on a 40 oz bottle of St. Ides malt liquer.
Top that beathces.

I don't spend loads even when I have some stored away. Biggest one time spend since the new year was a new 'American style fridge'. Doesn't sound like much but those side by side door fridge/freezers are still fairly new over here and pretty pricy.

What kind of horse did you buy ?


:)

1. My house

2. Work on my house

3. Lawn Mower for my house ($4000 for a lawn mower)

around 80k for the addition

around 10k in horse and farm stuff for new biz
