You have a million to spend but …

You’ve only got an hour to spend it and you can only buy things that have the same letter as your first name.

You can’t pay off your mortgage or repay debts. You have to buy physical items.

Equines - maybe an Eriskay pony?
equestrian home (to keep the equines)
eggs (faberge ones for preference)

OK this response on this thread just demonstrates why I am an idiot. You went straight for equines. I had to go all around the houses with the flipping Linnaean name! It’s like during the icebreaker at secondary school when we had to think of alliterative nicknames and I called myself “enigmatic E” out of panic.
