I live on a pretty strict budget, but you all know how much I enjoy food.

I’m also very health conscious, but I think if I suddenly came into money (like a winning lottery ticket or something like that) I would probably go a little crazy with all the yummy restaurants I could try, but I also think that with the extra money, I would be able to invest in a nice home gym set up and I would use it.

Right now, I exercise every day, but I don’t go to a gym (nor would I want to, even if I could afford to). I do plain old exercises like push ups and step aerobics (on my stairs) and things that need no equipment. But it would be nice to have some weight machines, or an eliptical trainer, or a treadmill, with a giant TV screen in front of it, so I could watch Property Brothers while working out.

What about you? If you could afford to be indulgent with food, do you think you would get fat?
