Overall, I've spent about $800 for a mid grade PC and an Oculus...can't beat that!

 

I love the rift and play it almost every night! Except lately when I have been working mandatory OT at my job and don't get home until 7:30. ?

I haven't bought anything particularly expensive this year. I think a drill press at ~100€ has been the most expensive buy and the 2nd most expensive would have to be a replacement 2TB HDD for my server.

 

There are a lot of things I'd like to buy and a lot of things I should buy, but I ain't got no money-trees in the yard. ?

If we are counting money spent total for some kind of endevour/thing then probably my trip to London.

 

If it has to be a single purchase, then probably my clothes which were about 1k USD.

Single purchase? My RVII most likely, got it at launch for $699 + next day delivery because I'm too impatient. Still conflicted on whether I should sell it or force myself to remove that pretty pretty cooler to put a waterblock on so the card can actually run at it's best.

That I've bought already, probably uni balls or concert tickets.

 

But in a week or so I need to pay my Uni Accommodation but although my parents pay for some of it, I do put my almost £5000 student loan on it (that one really hurts).

Trip to Africa this year cost close to $50k on a $10k budget. Biggest single purchase was the car to drive in.

Just fees or does it include housing?

Short Scale Gibson SG Bass Guitar in ebony...

...followed by my RTX 2070.

Including shipping I've also bought almost £200 worth of airflow and pressure fans in the last 12 hours.

Effin’ driving lessons in France to learn how to drive a manual and how to drive in Paris. It was expensive. And I could only take 0~2 hours per week (due to availability), so it took 2 months. I should have been working all this time, but I couldn’t.

Not sure if it counts as a single purchase but my entire pc setup cost around 2k. 

 

The single most expensive item I bought this year is either my iPhone Xs Max or the trip to Amsterdam I took in April, both cost the same pretty much.
