Any extra money we have ALWAYS goes to medical bills (boo! 👎🏼), but I have a few hundred extra dollars (after paying everything else) and I want to treat myself, but I can’t decide what to do! I know I’m for sure getting a hair cut and color (like $200ish total), and maybe a massage ($70), but I want to also buy myself something fun and I don’t know what to even consider. What would you spend an extra $500 on for yourself?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
