130 - This week we revisit a conversation from a recent episode, where Heather lost her mind over a $35,000 used Hermès purse. Spoiler alert: she's still bent out of shape about it!   

Regardless, we're circling back to the self-assigned task of spending an (unfortunately) imaginary $100,000 in an entirely frivolous way. You'd think this would be easy, but we both struggled! Find out what we decided—and how you can weigh in with your own selfish-by-design spend.        

What To Listen For: 

• How Nicole's actual planned purchase got demoted to fantasyland 
• Why people suffer from decision fatigue
• The signifier that a spending decision is the right decision
• How Heather lost her imaginary office to airbnb-ers…
• …and why she's urgently setting up a GoFundMe page 

Check out the Circle thread to share your hypothetical shopping list! (Favorite answers so far? A hot air balloon on standby; a storm-chasing vacation; and alllll the cast-iron waffle irons.)
