What's the most expensive thng that you own?

[Q.Lazzarus 0]

[paradoxical 1]

my computer

[frank 2,302]

I guess my computer.

 

In a few years, no one will give that answer.

 

If I don't count the computer, it's probably my guitar.

 

 

 

I'm watching the NBA right now on a big ass TV that technically belongs to my GF.

[Cdub100 3,903]

My 20 inch wide screen monitor

[rallo 136]

either my bass guitar/amp

 

or my golf clubs...

 

they are both worth more than my car anyway '90 LeBaron...

[EndGame 0]

Interesting question...

 

Could be my computer. More likely it's the bigscreen TV. Even that's devalued since I've had it for a few years, though. I have to figure that I've got some kind of family heirloom that's worth a bunch of money, but I can't think of it.

[jerryskids 6,789]

Nothing. That is why I have money. HTH.

[JScott 20]

Mrs. JScott's engagement ring

[pimptastic69 0]

Mrs. JScott's engagement ring

 

Ditto on that. I only had to spend $200 on a setting of my wife's $6000 inherited diamonds.

 

She likes it and I look like a hero.

I didn't get off so lucky. Flipped the bill for the 3ct diamond and setting.

a telescope, 8 inch mirror, its the bomb

i can see for miles

my wife. no money down - got many years left to pay. Would love to trade her in on a fresh, new model.

What do you think this is? Some kind of fantasy site? Get real.

[Thornton Melon 620]

My peanus

[Isotopes 1]

ditto on the wife's engagement ring

[NewbieJr 541]

My computer and my Martin.

Same here.

 

I feel sorry for the meatballs that get suckered into spending a ton on engagement rings. They are such BS. Any women that requires a $5k ring isn't worth having.

[bammbamm 0]

since i sold all of my toys; 4-wheeler, boat, snowmobile and motorcycle, the answer is pebbles' engagement ring, followed by the new computer we just built, then the big screen TV.

[Electric Mayhem 35]

definitely A/V equipment. Between the plasma, amp, receiver, speakers, remote and DVD player (not including the assload of DVDs/CDs) it's over $6.5K easy.

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

It would probably be the wife's engagement ring. I am assuming that I cannot include my 401k in this discussion.

 

Although, I spent more on my oldest son who is adopted. I don't think that we "own" him. More like he "owns" us.

[NewbieJr 541]

In a few years, the answer will be my daughter's braces.

 

She had her initial consultation last week. $2300.00 for phase one and $2300.00 for phase two.

Her mouth will be worth twice as much as anything else i own.

[pinfish_mauler 0]

My boat - worth $21k new. I'll be paying another 9 years on it at a favorable interest rate.

 

19 ft. Fishmaster center console. 140 HP 4-stroke Suzuki engine, 64 -pound thrust Riptide trolling motor, Garmin 162 GPS machine, Garmin 250c depth finder, VHF radio and about $4k worth of fishing gear for both freshwater and saltwater.

if you're paying for it for another 9 years, you don't own it.

 

HTH

[pinfish_mauler 0]

HTH

And just like my home, I owe much less than what the boat is worth due to the upgrades I have paid for out of pocket.

 

When the credit folks ask if you own your home or you rent, don't you answer "own" even if you are still paying the note?

So if you stop paying your mortgage, they can't take your home?

 

Thus, you don't own it.

Our antique furniture. The most valuable would be the 19th century French Country armoire and bed.

Actually, it's how little you know.

 

A mortgage is a security interest, i.e. a lien. A person who owns a home that is mortgaged, still owns it. They have a deed that is recorded in the public record to put all others on notice that they own it. The bank or other lender also records their security interest (i.e. the mortgage) in that home so all others are on notice that they have a secured interest in that home - not that the bank owns it. That security interest gives the lender the right to foreclose on the property if the owner fails to pay the note which is secured by the mortgage.

 

So, pfish mauler indeed owns his boat, the lender merely has a security interest in the collateral.

 

I'm hoping you were just fishing for an argument and are not really this ignorant.

a little of both, perhaps?

He owns it, ok. SO if he stops paying for his boat and wakes up one morning to find it gone, he can call the police? he owns it, they have no right to take it.

 

Owning it means you can use it as collateral. You cannot use a boat you don't own as collateral. HTH

Here's one for ya:

 

You pay off your house, car, etc. You are 100% out of debt. You OWN everything.

 

Then you want to get a loan for a vacation, so you go to the bank and they give you a loan. You don't pay the loan. You wake up to find your car gone because the bank took it to pay off the vacation loan. You are saying that the second you took out the vacation loan, you gave up ownership of your car and house simply because they were collateral on the vacation loan.

My watch... was a gift from my parent's when I graduated college.

 

~$1200

Next time, I hope someone will remind me to remove my brain before engaging in a debate with edjr/gcarlin so that it'll be a fair fight.

 

TIA

[CurlyNight 0]

Does it have to be in the house? I am part owner of a couple houses out of the area, have some jewelry pieces in the bank... that sort of thing.

 

In my house, my Sony LCD tv is prolly it.

Yup...I'll be paying about 5500 in August to put braces on my 9 year old.

 

I wonder what the resale on them will be?

 

Ummm right now, since I just sold my snowmobile (it doesn't snow here anymore--seriously), I'd have to say my Bushmaster .223. ....which will not depreciate a penny.

[phillybear 366]

I got about 200 DVDs, and about 250 CDs, so probably those collectively.

 

I checked my wallet....I have two bucks in there. Tomorrow is pay day. :relief:

[JScott 20]

Same here.

 

I feel sorry for the meatballs that get suckered into spending a ton on engagement rings. They are such BS. Any women that requires a $5k ring isn't worth having.

 

Not every man that spends a lot on a ring got "suckered" into it. When I proposed to Mrs. JScott I gave her a band with a few diamond chips in it, as a hold over until we picked out her real ring. She's the one that said she didn't need another ring. I'm the one that wanted to buy her a big diamond engagement ring. And she is very worth it.

[parrot 789]

My liver. I've dumped thousands into it over the years.
