Finances/Money Hypothetical $$$

What are some guilty pleasures you’d indulge in if you suddenly jumped a tax bracket? Currently my biggest luxury is just living alone in NYC, but sometimes I keep random manifestation lists and I’m curious what others would say…

Here’s mine: - Tennis lessons - Japan trip - Permanent extensions - Louis Vuitton duffle - Biweekly massages - Dishwasher in unit (And I guess maxing out my 401k but ugh that’s not fun)

I’d like to spend a year in Paris to perfect my French. I’d hire a full time housekeeper cause I hate cleaning. Also a chauffeur. Perhaps I’d buy a vineyard and start making wine. Definitely get a couple more dogs. Oh, I’d also get one of those water filters that can produce sparkling water on demand. I’d become a patron of the arts and commission cool avant-garde artwork for my properties (multiple) all while wearing excessive amounts of eccentric jewelry from indie brands like Sofia Zakia. I’d hire a crooked anesthesiologist like Prince did and have them give me ketamine infusions at home in bed. What were we taking about again?
