If you were Ed Sheeran you wouldn't need a reason to splash some cash, would you? If you had what he has in his wallet you'd buy everything in sight. "What's that, a wildebeest? Yep, I'll have it. A golden bicycle? Yes, I'll buy that. A life sized replica of Samuel L. Jackson that says "motherfucker" for 18 of 24 hours of the day? Fucking sold!".
Sadly, many of us can't even imagine how great it'd be to have no worries about money whatsoever, splashing out on whimsical items. However, for Ed, and many other rich folk like him, it's not just about being able to purchase whatever he wants at will.
Now that he's rolling it in he's been able to pay back the people who brought him into this world - his mum and dad.
Though he hasn't just gone out and got them fancy cars, some new clothes and gotten them VIP entry to various events, he's installed a gym and swimming pool in their house for reasons that aren't materialistic.
John and Imogen, 60 and 57 respectively, are lucky their son can pay for that sort of thing, but can also be thankful because he has their health down as a priority.
"I think any kid at my age starts getting worried about their parents' health," Ed told The Sun. "I have bought them a cross-trainer and built them a swimming pool.
"They are now training and swimming every day. I want them to be able to hang out with their grandkids for a very long time."
On the other hand, rather than sorting himself out with fitness regimes, a smoothie maker and a dieting cook book, he's decided to build a pub in his own gaff. A wise choice, Ed.
"I've built a pub. Like, I had a bar before, a bar where you could pour beers but now this has like a selection of beers, which is cool," he said. "So, basically, there's an underground tunnel to get there that you can close off. So, if I have a party, everyone goes in the pub and no one can get in the house so you get no one raiding the cupboards or smashing anything. You have to go underground to get to the pub."
That sounds like the type of thing every 16-year-old kid has ever dreamed of.
These lads, doing something very similar, tried thinking about what they could do with the spare room in their mate, Jase Hare's, house, eventually turning it into a bar where they hold live music sessions.

"Jase Hare had a third bedroom spare and at a party asked 'what should I do with this room?' and our friend Tony said 'build a bar'," Joe Brumby told TheLADbible. "Jase set about doing that and after six months he didn't just make one of those poor 'bars some people have', he built a proper pub.
"It's got an actual authentic wooden bar, bar stools (we drove to Hull and bought from a hotel), authentic books such as Man's Guide to Being a Man, grotty gentleman's club curtains, a working fire, brass light fittings, optics, beer of the months and best of all, two swing back, dirty green gentleman's bar style chairs."
The greatness of this spare room pub doesn't end here, though. The bar was named The Hare and Hound, and holds music sessions for bands.
The lad's invite musicians to come and play for free, with Joe recording the audio and filming the sessions. From time-to-time they'll stream it on The Hare And Hound SessionsFacebook page, and even pay for the band's petrol.

"We basically ask bands to travel from anywhere in the country to come down and play a set," Joe said. "I record the audio and film it so they get a copy of it, we also go live on Facebook and ask random questions and the audience can chip in too.
"It's all free for the bands and we even pay their petrol to come play for us.
"We've had King No-One, Morris, Mint, Flood Hounds, Sam Simmons, Mouses, Peter Keaveney and we're set to see several up-and-coming bands play this year."

Back in December, in order to raise money so they could host future events, they expanded for one night only.
Moving away from the man cave, they headed to a local venue where they put on some live music with a laid back atmosphere. Guests could sit back on sofas, enjoy the acts, ask them questions and then partake in competitions like best Christmas jumper and a raffle, with a chance to win a PlayStation 4.
"We're looking to grow and get some more events arranged in the future, get some more people involved to help us tick over," Joe told the Grimsby Telegraph.
We've got an awful lot of time for this. One of the best man caves we've ever seen. Maybe get Ed to do a little set?
