+1. Lawn service comes after that. Basically being able to throw money at things to save time. |

Housecleaner, absolutely!
More takeout. Finally wanting to buy a “luxury” car although I haven’t pulled the plug in that one quite yet because it feels wasteful

| I like to buy things in bulk so I know I will never run out. 12 packs of soap, a case of canned tomatoes. |

My parents had high SES but were so frugal so in adulthood I spring for nicer things.
Definitely massages, spa treatments, fancy restaurants, luxurious vacations in five star hotels, high quality clothes, organic foods. |

| High end skincare and makeup. Higher priced doesn’t always mean better, but there is a big diff between dept store makeup and drugstore makeup. |

| The red bell peppers. We were only ever allowed to buy the green ones. |

Really good food (both at home and going out). New car. Massages and facials with some frequency.
I’ve become cheaper in some ways too, which is funny. My absolute non-guilty guilty pleasure: $25 lip balm. Idc! |

agree with Housecleaner
One of first bosses told me I would stop changing my oil myself when my time became more valuable than my money. and as I worked my way up in responsibility and income, he was right. I buy high quality shoes too. But the rest of my life is pretty similar |

I now fly first class because I like it. I also travel more but it’s mostly to visit family. No high end cars and clothing and shoes with designer labels still make me cringe. I think they are uniforms for insecure people. Nothing says bougie more than Tory Burch flats or Jack Rogers flip flops.
I did get some custom made window treatments along with some custom upgrades around the house. For me it’s all about family and home. |

Cleaner, lawn and garden design and maintenance, regular pedicures, dinner out a few times a month, travel, home decor, a beach house.
I am not big on fashion, purses, etc. |
