I might be wrong (and frequently am) but every time there is a 'choice' the universe splits into 2 distinct wave functions - but only if there is no observer. Once an event has been observed, the wave functions collapse into the 'reality' of what actually happened. Of course it depends on what you call an observer (and what you call reality for that matter). In the thought experiment with Schrodinger and his imaginary cat, to the person outside the box, the universe split into 2 possibilities - the cat is both alive and dead. But is this the case for the cat? Is the cat, as an observer, able to collapse his own wave functions?
From this I think that once humans make a decision, it has already been observed, and there is no split. So no perfect point breaks, no huge bank account, no nubile beauties. I don't think that all the possible versions of you exist in parallel.
