Why put it in your checking. Checking accounts don't earn interest. At least put it in your savings if anything.

can you buy me a box of Upper Deck Series 1 cards? Only $100, then you have $300 left to spend on yourself.

thank me later! $300 is a lot to spend on yourself.

ok here's the deal..it was from my grandparents for birthday and they thought really hard about what to get me but decided they'd let me do the choosing, and just gave me the money...so i'd like to actually get something if i can.

here's what i have already gadget wise
nice enough comp, iaudio x5, sennheiser headphones, logitech z5300 speakers, 2 19" monitors, SE k750i cellphone.
ibanez rg570 guitar, boss gt6 pedal

i don't have a car, and won't be getting one until earliest this fall.

and it doesn't necessarily have to be a big thing....


what would YOU buy with $400 if you had to spend it (no saving)

And if he doesn't have a good online savings account, a PM to me for a referral to INGDirect would be very nice!

You should put it on some sort of universal credit card and put it in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, fill with water, freeze... when you really want something you must get the thing out of there, by the time you go through it to get the card, you'll have changed your mind.

Whatever you get, just make sure you show it to your grandparents, and let them know that you are really happy with it. That will make them happy, to know you are happy.

You should probably save it for the car you may soon be getting, but there really are very few things that make one as happy as blowing $400 on a couple pairs of jeans, a couple decent shirts and a pair of shoes, and maybe a new baseball cap.

Walk around your house for a week with a sheet of little red star stickers... everytime something in your house annoys you, put a star on it. At the end of the week, replace everything with a star on it.
Just make life a little more pleasant.
