The best part is seeing how different the meaning of splurge can be depending on who you ask. (For example, I recently splurged on some Milk Duds.) Chayce Beckham bought a John Deere lawnmower. Dustin Lynch bought an airplane. Luke Combs likes to spend money on watches but doesn't overdo it. He said, "For the most part, I'm pretty reined in, ya know?

Welcome to The List,
For those of you hoping to see Henry Cavill step into the role of James Bond, your fantasy has been fulfilled . . . well, kinda. He's in a FAKE A.I. trailer on YouTube called "Bond 26". It came out five days ago and as of last night, it's already hit 2.4 million views. It shows Henry as 007 and Margot Robbie as a Bond girl. Even though there's a disclaimer in the video's description, some people were fooled by it. And many people in the comments are hoping it becomes a reality. The latest rumor is that Aaron Taylor-Johnson will be the next Bond. (You can check out the trailer here.)

Or would we rather he just toured the whole year instead?
