HVAC system
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 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.
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.
A bicycle i could lift with my pinky
Need more info…
It was a carbon fiber bike that was less than 20 lbs. You could pick it up by the top tube with your pinky and balance it there. The bike with wheels and all came in around $5k. At the time i didn’t have a car and used bike to go everywhere including shopping, so i wanted to have a second “nice” bike for fun riding and i used my old bike for normal commutes.
Fun fact but professional cycling regulations have a minimum bike weight of 6.8kg (14.99 lbs) so professional riders have even lighter bikes… but not too light!

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.
Great Akctually, except, well, the answer is somewhere in the middle. It would have been more correct for me to hedge my language and say pro bikes can be lighter. This was my fatal flaw.
Also since we’re going to be pedantic then bike weight is also dependent on the course. The link i gave above even talks about how bikes are optimized for the day’s riding.
But great job bringing in stereotypes. Please tell me, is Tadej Pogačar a dentist?

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.

Heat pump.
Motorcycle. Rode Amtrak with a backpack full of $5700 in cash to go get it and ride it home.
That’s all that it had cost? How’s it been?
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.
Nice grab! Stay safe on the stroads!
Buying a company.

a child, they cost between $200k and $1M per kid depending on what luck occurs and how much you are willing to care for them.
Where did you buy your child?
Looking for a good deal?
At the “make a baby with my sexy husband” backroom selection.
How much did he charge?
It was about that time she realized he was a 50 foot long Paleolithic dinosaur…
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.
A divorce
Definitely the wedding by a long shot. And mostly because we paid for a venue where we could house a bunch of guests coming from out of state.
