    a punto would only worth that much if the 17 grand was inside the actual car

    My car was my most expensive purchase, but it was a necessary expense rather than a "lavish" one.

    Most lavish purchase ... A bouncy castle for my boyfriend's last birthday party :D It was totally worth it too!

    Pioneer DJM 800

    Was going to go for a cheaper, second hand option, but in the end just thought "**** it" and splashed out €1350 on the bad boy. Worth every cent!

    $63k car. Could have quite easily gotten by with a cheaper one, but I wanted the toy.

    Still, some practical purpose, I'm racking up miles on it. Now, the $3K I've spent on one of my rifles, on the other hand, as yet has had no practical purpose whatsoever.

    NTM

    Cuban Cigars

    A champage cocktail in Paris for €30

    Brunch at the Ritz for €120

    All abosolutely worth every cent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,238 ✭✭✭humbert


    Probably a nice hotel in Paris when on holidays with the other half. Not the most expensive purchase but the one that was most self indulgent.

    I guess I'm just male but I feel kinda queezy when I hear of the money girls spend on shoes and handbags. I just can't believe they are any different to the ones you'd get for 1/10 the price.

    I forgot to mention my Dior heels... I've a shopping problem!!!

    Designer shoes look amazing... they are beautifully made and they are so much more comfortable than cheaper shoes because of high quality materials used...

    My name is Dollybird09 and I'm a shopaholic ;)
