I classify "big purchase" as stuff that isn't part of my "regular expenses", and costs around $200 and above.
In comparison, I think I'm really spending a lot lesser than most of my peers. I don't have many expensive hobbies, and I don't splurge on things like bags, chairs, bikes, specs, shoes, etc...
In fact, most of my big purchases are IT gadgets, and I usually hoot only 1 "mega purchase" or 2-3 "major purchase" per year.
So I think it's pretty reasonable right?
Major Purchase - $200 to $1000
Mega Purchase - Above $1000
2006 - Complete PC Overhaul (Core 2 Duo) [MEGA]
2007 - 22' LCD Monitor, Sony Ericssion W950i, Digital Camera
2008 - NEC Versa S3500 Laptop [MEGA]
2009 - Cowon S9, Westone 1, Radeon HD4870
2010 - HTC Desire
2011 - Shanghai Trip, Braun Series 7-790
2012 - Mayday's Noah Ark, Major PC Overhaul (Ivy Bridge) [MEGA], Westone UM2X
2013 will be much, much more bloody (大出血)...
I can forsee:
- An urgent need to upgrade my HTC Desire (3 years liao leh...)
- A vacation trip in mid year
- A bigger size monitor! (Been using the 22' one for > 5 years liao... and really need one for productivity)
- Look for something to replace my aging S9 (Tempting...)
- Update my graphic card if got games to play. (Didn't change it, it's still HD4870)
