Welcome to our 300th episode of 10K Dollar Day! We're marking this milestone by switching up our format! It's a celebration day. 

Alison and Lulu spend their 10K allowances in Toronto, Canada, and Milan, Italy this week. Amidst the shoes in this episode, we have two hotels with celebrity status, one designed by a rock star and one designed by a director.  You'll meet the one of the cutest donkeys you've ever seen, and Alison gives us her tried-and-true tricks to building up a sneaker collection on a budget. All of that, packed into some luxury spending (in our mind). 

10K. 24 hours. Real research, imaginary travel! Join us as we find the fanciest and silliest ways to spend $10,000 in one day!

This week's magic jumping-off word was furnished by Amy F. from Maine, host of the Grounded in Maine podcast, all about sustainability, and purveyor of some of our favorite sweet treats, Amy's Garden Jam.

Alison brings us on a culinary adventure, getting some hands-on education about some of the most luxurious foods in Peschiara del Garda, Italy, while Lulu explores elective surgery in Klaipėda, Lithuania. How else would they spend an imaginary 10K in 24 hours? 

This vintage 2022 episode is the last in our lookback series, as we launch a new format next week with episode 300. 

Both locations were inspired by our magic jumping-off word, “vision,” given to us by longtime listener Ira B. in Florida. If you’d like to submit a word, please visit our website. We’ll build an episode around it!

As we count down to episode 300, we continue to revisit some of our favorite episodes. This episode, recorded in a very dungeon-y Philadelphia Airbnb (you can see the filming of this episode on our YouTube channel!), features Alison planning a momcation where kids are very, very, very much not allowed. Parent hard, play hard? 

Lulu also crams a bunch of activities, eating, and event production into a day in Burlington, Vermont. Both Alison and Lulu manage to maximize their fake budget of 10K a day! That's imaginary luxury travel!

This vintage episode from 2019 is a special one -- we recorded it in Stockholm on a real-life vacation (on a much-less-than-10K budget).  Even though we were squeezing the most out of every dollar on our trip, we were still able to write these silly adventures. Lulu spends her fake $10,000 in Panama City, Panama, while Alison decides to throw a celebration for the whole town of Mason City, Iowa. (Hint: it's the birthplace of Meredith Willson, writer of THE MUSIC MAN. And this is episode 76!)

We're continuing our countdown to episode 300 by revisiting some of our favorite episodes.

In honor of all the Barbie-palooza, here's a February 2020 episode that definitely draws a lot of inspiration from our Barbie-playing childhoods. Lulu brings us to Malibu for some luxury fit for a living doll. Wearing pink isn't required for listening, but it can't hurt. 

Meanwhile, Alison spends a fake 10K in Auckland, New Zealand, in the most un-Barbie-like way possible. (Hint: zombies.) There's something for everyone here as we blow $10,000 in 24 hours!
