I recently had someone ask me if I found some spare money that I could only use as a little luxury for myself – the rule was also that I could only spend this on myself. Something to make my life easier, something I wanted to buy, something I wish someone else would do for me (can I get the dish fairy to show up daily?) Knowing that the money would be replenished next month, what would I do? What would you do?
