Biggest Purchase

[Reverie]

What is the biggest purchase you've ever made? What about top 3 biggest purchases? Do you regret any of these purchases?

The only thing I recall spending $1000+ on is my car, I believe, and that was made in bi-weekly payments if I remember correctly.

I bought a gaming laptop for hundreds of dollars and it had a good run, but didn't last forever.

I bought a drumset for hundreds of dollars and that was one of the biggest waste of money I've ever spent considering I never even learned to play it. We're dumb when we're young.

Probably my house and my cars. Some other elaborate personal expenses would include furniture and my LG OLED TV that I love, lol.

For business, I make large purchases all the time, but those are billed to my customers.

1. House, no regrets
2. House, shouldn’t have at the time
3. Unity Pro licence back when that was a thing, shouldn’t have

Personal note, gotta be my Gaming rig If you add that up in the last so and so years it would be near to $4000

My top 3 would be:

1. Life Insurance
2. Gaming Laptop
3. Flight tickets to home during peak festive season

I slightly regret the 1st one as I could've invested that amount in some stocks and got much better returns.
I'm yet to buy a house, a car, or even a bike so I've not had a "big" expense yet.
Most probably in the next couple of years, I'll have 3 news items right at the top of the list.

How do you get around without a form of transportation, does someone else drive you to your destinations?

My body shop was the biggest spending I ever did. Building a new workplace including the interior and some machines like a spray booth. Luckily not all at once as I pay off the mortgage for it.

I'm staying very near to my office. So, I go by walk. Takes hardly 15 minutes. I have almost everything I need where I'm staying. Also, these days almost everything is online so, I can just order if I need anything (food, grocery, clothes, etc.). For places more than 2 KM away, I book a cab or a bike taxi or take a metro depending on the traffic conditions outside.

Sounds like even without a form of transportation, you have it made.

Outside of houses & cars and home improvement/repairs... I definitely think it is iPhone XR and iPhone 14 Pro.
