Thursday DE: if I had a million dollars I'd buy you a house

[needsmoreresearch]

The third play in the set that my guy William comes from is pretty much James III saying "Everyone in Europe is having a Renaissance and I want one too," and his wife saying "That's lovely dear but we can't afford a Renaissance."

So today's DE is: What would your characters splash out a fortune on, if only they had a fortune to splash around? For the fabulously wealthy characters, what's a big expenditure that they feel genuinely satisfied with?

Wilford doesn't like spending money. He just mostly doesn't see the point in expensive things. He had his $80,000 car, before he reset back to a time when he drove a car powered by bees, and he'll be getting the expensive car again. He always has the latest enormous smartphone (at least, once they become a thing). But he doesn't really see either of these things as being, like, a worthwhile purchase. He feels more like he deserves a nice car, after driving the bee-mobile around for so long, and in his line of work, you need an enormous smartphone that can do everything and has an amazing camera. But his fashion choices barely extend beyond a Walmart rack, or occasionally, a shoe store at the mall. All his music is on Spotify, save a small vinyl collection that he has just because. Even his glasses are cheap as hell, because he knows they're just going to get broken by somebody's fist in four months.

Before he left him in Jim's care, Wilford actually spent more money on keeping his dog happy than he did on himself. And he still does, given the dog currently has a considerable mount of money banked with the bar.
