What is the last thing you purchased?

This question demands interpretation. I assume it pertains to the most recent money expenditure. But if you put an item on a credit card, yet haven’t paid off the balance, does that count as a purchase? And what about a mortgage or student loans? My student loans have sat unpaid for many months thanks to the perpetually extended forbearance, so that’s sure not the answer. Should a mortgage be thought of as a single payment every month, or considered a prorated cost each day, minute, or second? Maybe I’m purchasing a few nails in a floorboard now, a couple square inches of paint in the guest bedroom now, a fraction of a bathroom tile now,—. That seems a bit too pedantic even for me. Honestly, I don’t purchase very much in the way this question intends. Once or twice a year, though, I do order a handful of Everton jerseys directly from their official store in Liverpool. I recently received an email notifying me of drastic price cuts, then swooped in with an order using my “no foreign transaction fees” Capital One credit card. But, wait—the jerseys haven’t been delivered yet.

  1. The last thing I purchased was a big blender. It works as a food processor and has two little ones for smoothies. Great gadget. Haven’t tried it yet. Anyone who knows me would have figured it would be something for my kitchen. I’m sure it’s paid for. My husband pays our charges ahead. So he rounds up our monthly payment. He was upset last month because they only allowed him to pay 10% more then the bill. Can we say OCD

  2. My last purchase was casters for our foot stool from Amazon. Everything in Florida deteriorates. Our solid plastic casters fall apart only after 6 or 7 years.
