$5K for a slightly less than two week summer camp that DC was meh on and DH was hyped about. Probably more like $6K when you count supplies and hotels for drop off and pick up. I regret it but recognize there were a few positives, just nowhere near $5K of positives.

You definitely can spend $20k on a horse, but you don't have to and typically wouldn't for the kind of horse that multiple kids could ride for a decade. Same for a piano. I'm dying to know what this is. Boat?


A Steinway M would be more than that. And 100% worth it in my book!

Fancy stroller if it has to be an individual item.

Really the 2M house in the fancy school district with a yard.

Does bail count? What about the ensuing legal fees?

You've got us all curious about what you want to buy for $20,000. And what that something is that the kids will enjoy for a decade! Other than house and college, nothing comes close for us.

You took the the two biggest items off the table: college and car. I think the next biggest item was $3k for an upright bass, but we could have sold it for the same. We ended up donating it.

We also got a fancy trampoline with netting and that was by far the most used thing we ever bought the kids- 4 or 5 year of non-stop bouncing for our kids and neighborhood friends.
