Andre36

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

My medicine, it costs $6,300 but and my insurance only covers half of it. Thankfully I was almost at my out of pocket maximum for the year so it only ended up costing ~$600 and will be free each month for the rest of the year.

Hey, I understand where you are coming from. One of my meds are around $24,000 a month (Cystic Fibrosis is expensive). I have to pay 100% up to my deductible but then they pay 100% of everything else. (as long as I use the, in network, specialty pharmacy they specify).

My current insurance doesn't have a deductible for medical care or the pharmacy. This particular medication they only cover 50% of the cost for however, which seemed to be the same for most health insurance policies I checked concerning tier 7 medications unfortunately.

That sucks. Have you checked to see what international pricing of the drug is? I wish I could help, but insurance companies [in the US] use their own drug tiers.

So far I spent $400 on a phone for a friend. Though, collectively, I'd says McDonald's meals.

I might buy a car before years end, so I suppose that'd be the biggest expense. We'll see though.

I've done more selling of personal items than buying this year.

I finally paid off my truck this year, so if you wanna call that my biggest payment.  (But I've been making payments for a couple years).  Otherwise, the biggest purchase this year would maybe be my PC or my phone.  Granted my phone is on the AT&T Next plan, so obviously not paying it all out of pocket at once.

Currently focusing on my video game collection.

It doesn't matter what you play games on, just play good games you enjoy.

If it's my own money, then the biggest single payment would probably be my Windows tablet at £110.

But I have bought £100s worth of tools this year but that at different times.

 

If it's someone else's money, then I spend £50k of the family's money on a house

Not one single part, but collectively I have spent $3,600 building my forged engine for my turbo Miata in the past couple months.

 

The most expensive single part for it was the harmonic damper, surprisingly, at $526. A close second is the piston set at $474.

 

Still another $12,200 to go before it makes 400hp!

No, a 200 acre actual farm.

Not planning on getting into the farming business, just going to be a flip.

That's how you get all the money for these headphones..

Main speaker setup is now;

 

Mini DSP SHD Studio -> 2x Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC's (fed by AES/EBU, one feeds the left sub and main, the other feeds the right side) -> 2x Neumann KH420 + 2x Neumann KH870

 

(Having a totally seperate DAC for each channel is game changing for sound quality)

My Canon Powershot G7X mkII I bought used for about $450 from Adorama was my single biggest purchase of the year.

My 335i xDrive M-Sport. That is, by at least an order of magnitude, the most expensive thing I have ever bought. Nothing else even comes close.

 

The runners up this year are my Danner Quarries and my LAMY 2000 EF.

I bought a $250 motherboard to finish building my FX dream machine from 2014.

 

The amount I've spent trying to finish this build could have gone towards a much newer and better system, but I always finish what I start

That's not always a good thing. Sometimes continuing down a plan that has become a bad plan, is simply a bad idea. People talk about never giving up and never quitting, etc - but you need to know when to cut your losses.

Probably not, but I have to finish it if that makes any sense. I've worked on this thing for long enough that I just want to be done with it and my compulsions can be sated
