I started golfing two years ago. I have greatly enjoyed it but the clubs I'm using are older than I am (they were hand-me-downs that were already hand-me-downs), slightly too short for me (1/2 inch or so), and technology has greatly changed since then. They served their purpose and tippy2k2 decided that he needed his own clubs to call his own.
My wallet hates me now
I spent $1013 on Friday buying two drivers, an iron set, two wedges, a bag, and golf shoes. I am well aware that this is CHEAP in the golf world but I did what I could.
I then realized...outside of necessary things (like a car and rent), this is the most I have ever spent in one shot on something that I don't need. I suppose I've spent this much on gaming over time but never in one shot.
So Escapist people! To make my wallet feel better about what just happened to it, what is the most you've ever spent on something (again, not a necessary item though since most would say "Car" or house" if that's the case)? What did you buy? Are you happy with your purchase or do/did you have buyers remorse?
Feel free to just say what you got if you don't want to give dollar amounts but I promise, we won't judge you
EDIT: To make it a bit clearer, do not count items necessary for you to live and work. For example, here in 'Merica, a car is a necessary purchase unless you live in NYC or a similar place. In other places, a car may not be necessary but you bought one because you like to drive it around and therefore it could count as your most expensive purchase.
EDIT 2: Multiple components for one big item DO count if they were purchased together. Like a PC in all it's parts or (in my case) a set of golf clubs since I "technically" purchased 14 or so individual components that morph into a super machine.
