Haha right??

Maybe you can sponsor some polar bears or icebergs while down south? :)

aww, at least get the puppy :)

$20K on a trip to Antartica for my husband and me (yes it can actually cost that much and more)
$2K a new wardrobe for husband and me. To be honest we haven’t bought non-used clothes in years. I really have no idea how much this would cost
$5K on lifetime memberships to blogging tools (not sure it would cost that much, throw in enrollment in a few classes if I need to)
$2k on eating out, this includes really large tips
$21K left….dang this is hard!

high society – gonna have to steal that one :)

(also – can we be bffs for future lottery winnings??)

With five stacks of high society (I’ve been looking for an opportunity to use that phrase for a week or so now, thanks J.) and was forced to do nothing personally financially responsible:

I think I’d take $20k and get a new (used) luxury sedan, as they’re the one frivolous vice I consider myself to have (but I’m not trying to use up the whole $50k on a car)….I found a loaded 2014 Lincoln MKZ on autotrader with ~50k miles for about $17k

I’d give $15k to my best friend of 25 years that recently got married…After some thought, I had to draw a line here; my parents are in a reasonable financial situation, and $15k wouldn’t really swing the needle for them, and I’d want to be able to give enough to be able to do so (so I nixed giving 10 friends $1k, for instance), so it has to go to my main man (he can also be trusted to be responsible with it ^_^)

Then I’d take the last $15k and take the girlfriend on a sweet two-ish week European vacation, destination(s) pending

Oh wow – yeah, that is pretty wild!

Haha… thanks for playing along though :) Cool y’all have a rooftop deck!!

That leaves enough budget for a wild 4 hours in Sydney before flying back (takes 22 hours to fly there). Or not…I think I still need to pay tax and other stuff on the base ticket…fortunately you get very nice ground service and a great private lounge if the tickets alone are more than $50K…

Insanity. Now on my bucket list…at least the $3K (one way) version…

Friday
$500 dinner out with my husband and drinks at a fancy bar with great view afterward.
$1000 splurge on a local hotel suite for the night

Saturday
$100 personal training session or private yoga lesson
$1500 spa half day at the Ritz plus Botox
$5000 – head to the mall for designer boots, a designer handbag, a dress or two
$250 – get my hair and makeup done on the way out
$500 – another amazing dinner/night out

Sunday
$15,000 – Prepay contractor for new windows
$10,000 – Book a long weekend trip for my 5 year anniversary in April and a January ski trip.
$500 – have one of those maid services do a one time deep clean of my whole house
$500 – load up at Whole Foods for a night of grilling the nicest steaks, an amazing meat/cheese board, great wine, delicious sides and staples for the week too.
$500 – hit up Barnes and Noble for a year worth of books to read, plus fun journals and planners

$14,650 still left…guess I’d book another trip and head back to the mall. Maybe some nice jewelry for myself (which I never buy) and some nice work clothes and designer pumps.

Yeesh, I do feel kinda dirty. Fun exercise though! Now off to do a much smaller version of the above list this weekend. ;)

I’ll be the third to mention visiting all the MLB Stadiums! (if hubby doesn’t want to go with me, I’ll bring my daughter. How did I get boys that don’t like sports?? ) And buy good season tickets to my beloved Red Sox – Throw in a European trip and I think I’ve spent all $50K – and happily I might add
