      Real talk. My mom spent that much on her first new car; my grandparents spent 1/3 on buying land and building a house. I got heat for 110m2.

      I got a new one a couple years ago. Was like $25k. That wasn’t even with all the top of the line options either.

        And it’s probably only $5000 worth of parts.

      I kinda count that as house expense - if I didn’t have this house, I wouldn’t have had to replace the HVAC, windows, etc. so to me it just compounds on the purchase price of the property itself.

          Fun fact but professional cycling regulations have a minimum bike weight of 6.8kg (14.99 lbs) so professional riders have even lighter bikes.

          They actually don’t. Most pro bikes weigh closer to 20lbs. These guys descend mountains at 90 mph, sprint at 45 mph, they are not going to risk their lives over what amounts to a few sips of water. The 14.99 number is for dentists.

    Does a roof and windows count? Or, do those fall under the “house” heading? That was around $20k all done.
    Finishing the basement was around $15k, though that’s certainly under the house.
    Then there’s the septic tank we had to replace, that was about $10k.

    The cost of a home isn’t done with just the mortgage.

      I would say the stipulation is everything directly related to a house.

        It was used, bought from a private party. Best purchase I have ever made. I haven’t had the “What bike should I get next?” thing since.

    A new HVAC system cost me about 20k, but if that falls under “house” it would go to the 12k CNC machine.

    The vacant lot next to my house.

    After that… probably my wife’s engagement ring. And very close after that, a number of dinners at fancy restaurants for large groups of people.

    Wait, no… the catering for the wedding cost more than the ring. That’s #2 after real estate.
