Yours. You don't actually own anything unless you bought it with your own money, in full. I think that the banks probably own most of the homes and cars in the countries. ;)

college degree, and degrees in progress

a vase, probably.

Otherwise, the rest are nearly the same:
boat, big screen tv, camper, home theater system, road bike, probably some other things.

Three piece sectional - $1750.
It's the most money we've ever spent on furniture.

Some guys have 50K + invested in their HTs...most of that is the room itself though.

Well, along a similar line I'd say my receiver, which is a single item, unlike an entire home theater...

Unless we can include maintenance costs, in which case it is my cat - the one I got for free. :)

I guess it would be my Kenwood eXcelon Deck for my car. At the time it was the first to play MP3's, which was something I had to have. I paid $450 for it originally, but it retailed for $699.

I can't think of anything more expensive that I currently own. Although I did replace the motor in my old 1993 Prelude which was well over a grand.
