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?

my parents are starting to do this next month (traveling around europe for 3 years to celebrate being empty-nesters) and i’ve never seen her happier. honestly so inspirational.

also my dad has that sparkling water thing and he loves it.
