Splurge
Significado: To spend a lot of money on something, especially as a treat.
'Splurging' means spending more than usual, typically on something you want rather than need. It carries a sense of indulgence — treating yourself after saving or working hard. It's less reckless than 'blowing money' and more deliberate.
