[ARCHIVED THREAD] - When was the last time you made a large purchase? (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 2/10/2016 7:50:09 AM EDT

I'm not talking about a few grand on a gun, but something big like a car, land, etc?
For me, it has been about 8 years when I bought my first new car.
Still have it, too.
Anyway, reading about layoffs, bad economy, and me not liking my job, have kept me from spending much since I bought the car.

12/30/15 new car. I kept the old one over 10 years and 200k miles. Who can afford to trade up every few years any more?

Bought our house about 7 months ago.

And a GSD 2 months ago. He was $1400, which doesn't constitute a big purchase, but we are since in about $3k. Food for the year, new toys, training classes etc, we'll break 4K this year, and will probably spend 20k on him over his life.
