so, what is the biggest single purchase you have ever made in your life? any home owners out there?


My biggest purchase is a '98 Subby Legacy Brighton. split it with my lady, each paid $3000.

A masters in archaeology? Why don't you just put your money in a pile and burn it? If you pay off your loans your loans by the time your dead, without outside help, then I'll be surprised.

Guitar and amp - 60's Classic Player's strat + AVT 100 Marshall combo = $1312 exactly with tax.

I never regretted it once or thought that I should've gotten something else with my money. It's been the most productive thing I've done so far with my money.

Lets see... my most retarded expenditure? a 1200 dollar phone bill i racked up calling australia and new zealand (i thought we had vonage. i was wrong)

My most useful expenditure? my subaru impreza. 2g's. getting it working perfect? 1 more G.

most stoked on expenditure? spending 273 to fly to montana in 2 weeks to see my girlfriend. WORD.

there are legitimate houses for sale in sacramento, ca... small ones for like under 30k. thats right THIRTY THOUSAND. And a whole feast of others under 100k.

If I had good enough credit and a decent job, i'd snag one so fast, fix up the necessities, and make it a legit pad thats only an hour.5 from skiing.

the only thing you're gonna get for under 30k is a beat up mobile home where you also have to pay rent on the property where it sits

Does that include the increase in insurance?  DUI's including all costs are usually about $15,000 (including increase in insurance costs)

I know of a 3 bedroom place for sale right now for $30000 on a half acre of land, 45km from a small ski resort with some of the best slackcountry there is... that's NOT an understatement.
