re: What's the largest purchase you've ever made with cash only?

$37,317.96--- 2nd car. Only thing I've ever financed was my house... And that's mostly b/c interest rates were so low back in 2011.

Around a dollar with tax.

I left the change in the “take a penny” tray by the register.

$4600 for a semester at LSU

$3000 for a 2003 Camry back in 2010.

$2500 for some cell tech. I got jacked, though.

$22,000 harley street glide

155k for my first Condo I bought. Bank wired to the builder.

156k for my first condo. Bank wired to the builder.

My current home which is being renovated to flip. I bought it from the estate of a deceased family member. I had just sold my interest in a start up me and some other guys built in NC and I sold out my equity. My investment advisor was drooling at getting her hands on the cash and I said nope and put it all into this house. Five years later and it is finally coming to fruition as the Reno nears the end.

To be clear, this is basically my retirement savings. I figure owning a nice home outright (whatever I buy when I sell this place) will be a good retirement plan. I can live mortgage free and then sell it if I need cash.

I put almost $500k down at the closing via a wire transfer.

Closing attorney laughed at me when I told them I wanted a copy of the deed. They had to go to the Clerks office and get me one. You usually don’t get anything.

Had 50k left in student loans and paid it off in one big payment.

Really hurt to click “submit payment” but was a relief at the same time.
