came to an end Jan. 26. Schneider raked in $1,382,800 after her 40-game streak and she’s ready to spend some of that hard-earned cash.“Travel is definitely a part of the plan,” she told The Post. “I mentioned on the show that we wanted to go to Ireland, and while we’re still finalizing it, it’s looking like we’ll be there for St.

Patrick’s Day.”She and her partner, Genevieve Davis, are also setting some of the earnings aside “for a potential down payment on a house, but we’re doing some fun shopping in the meantime.

No big ticket items, but I’m refreshing my wardrobe, things like that.”She revealed that she took a leave of absence from her job as a software engineer in Oakland, California, and took a much-deserved vacation — decadent bubble bath included. “We went to this really fancy, boutique hotel in Half Moon Bay, California, last Saturday night, specifically for its giant bathtubs,” Schneider said during a Q&A session with the New York Times on Twitter Spaces Wednesday.

Between trips, she’s also getting some writing in.“There has definitely been a lot of interest in my writing a book, and it’s something I’d love to do,” she told The Post. “My main focus right now is figuring out what exactly that book might look like; there are a lot of things I’m passionate about so it’s a matter of narrowing all my ideas down into a coherent book.
