splurging
Treating yourself extravagantly
Splurging is spending money freely or extravagantly, usually on something you don't strictly need: I'm splurging on a nice dinner for my birthday.
The word suggests indulgence—treating yourself or others without worrying about the cost.
A splurge is an instance of such spending: The vacation was a splurge, but worth it.
