I have $1000. What do I buy?

why don't you just explain why

 

[HAL9000]

It's not a bad idea, but really not my taste. I want something I'll use in practical applications.

Then SLR, definitely, they are awesome to own, and If you'd get the use out of it, you shouldn't be without one.

On a side note, do you have a good TV/ Monitor?

Just googled cream of corn, that sounds disgusting.

world of warcraft gold, lots of it

Damn, someone actually gives a decent advice and he ignores it but quickly replies to those who give shitty replies.

On a side note, I wasnt suggesting that comic, but an investment that you would enjoy owning, maybe an old guitar, or a first edition book, I don't really know what your into but owning something that speaks to you and holds its value is a great thing.

I don't get laid because I am a hideous manbearpig.

That's why you should use it to buy a hooker.

 

[TridenT]

That's why you should use it to buy a hooker.

So I can then know what it feels like and then crave it more? I ain't that stupid!

 

[HAL9000]

My other suggestion would be, buy something that every kid will want this christmas, then wait a week and stick it on ebay, you'll make a killing, I did it a couple of years ago with a Wii, bought it for £179 sold it for £410...

Glad to see you have finally learned to use google for your 1,000's of questions that seem to derail threads. Way to go :thumbsup:
Now you just need to learn to keep your little discoveries to yourself. We don't really care that you didn't know what cream corn was, or that you found the definition on your own and that you think it sounds gross. Good for you, but really not necessary to share it.

And to the OP, if you don't really need anything or want anything everyone has suggested, why can't you save the money for a rainy day when you may actually need it or want something?

It seems investing would be your best decision.

Trident, meet neckarb, your brother across the big pond. Please enjoy each other.

It has to go towards something just for me. It cannot be something like furniture, paying rent, being saved, etc. It's basically a $1,000 that I have to spend on something(s).

Cheap laptop plus DSLR?
Just a Canon T2i? Canon T1i for cheaper-ish-maybe-who-knows?
Decent laptop?
Upgrades for compooter?
???

TABLET PC.

Might encourage you to actually work hard in school, get a job and be able to afford hookers periodically. It's the only way you're going to get laid.

I would agree something in the Tablet form factor, very handy, but I'd recommend an iPad or an android tablet device like the galaxy tab.

Try putting your body against one, they kind of grow on you.
