Maybe a supercharger kit for my car, I'm saving so I'll have this car for a few more years, might as well make it a little fun.

I would reinvest it. There is nothing better than counting a pile of cash.

Have you ever noticed that whom ever is handing over cash usually has a snotty face and whom ever is receiving cash always has a cheeky grin on their face when counting it. People love counting cash.
Really you need to live a little
