You are splurging if you can't afford it and you can't. You need to develop a budget. The first priority should be paying your debt. Your money should only be for essentials and debt repayment. Essentials are food, water, shelter. Sell items from your list.

I said this before I knew of the items in that list. I'd venture to guess that there are other items in the household that could help pay off the settlement. Off the bat I'd switch to two non-smart phones (get money for iphones and lower cell plan at the same time).
I've done similar things in the past when times were tough and there is absolutely NO shame in looking someone right in the eye and telling them that you made the decision to cut back on some luxuries and you're putting your hard earned money into other things. Seems kind of like OP is trying to keep up with the Jones'.

I don't know your situation but I could think of several things real fast I'd sell to get that money. Then when I got everything under control I'd methodically replace them if they needed replacing.
