  "account": "Vivian Tu, also known as Your Rich BFF, recognizes the importance of allocating funds wisely. Among the many luxuries she enjoys, she has narrowed down three splurges that she cannot live without. One of these is luxurious soap, which she finds to be an affordable way to elevate her home's ambiance and impress guests. Tu's preferred luxury soaps include Aesop, Loewe, and Le Labo, although any high-end hand soap will suffice. Another investment she makes is in silk fabrics, such as sheets, pajamas, or clothing, which she believes are worth their price due to their comfort and the positive impact they have on her sleep. Lastly, Tu invests in learning new skills by hiring experts for lessons in makeup, French, or cooking. She considers these experiences as valuable investments in personal growth and financial comfort.",
