Things to buy

[kdr723]

I usually do not have money because most of what I get goes straight to my bank account (parents are afraid I won't get a scholarship to college). I got ~$130 from relatives over the Easter holidays and can't figure out what to spend it on. I already have the cheats that for the games that I play (I might have to put $70 aside for when bc2 is released) so I don't want to spend it there.

Here's a list of what I'm considering buying:
- Minifridge (for my room / gaming station)
- Microwave (for my room / gaming station)
- put the money towards a droid 2 (and sell my current droid)
- New/Bigger/Better TV (22 inch made by Vizio right now and I could sell that and put it towards a new TV)

I need suggestions on which to buy and/or what to add to the list above.

A microwave? lol never heard of that one but oh well I would consider buying the TV or maybe consider buying 3 displays :D

I spend to much time waiting for shit to heat up when I could be gaming. If I bought a microwave I would just have to move 1 foot to go pop something in there and then continue gaming.

I'm not buying multiple displays simply because I cannot stand the separation between the actual images.

spend it on a higher quality tv imo

microwaves can be gotten of craigslist for cheap/free

Save it for something actually worthwhile. None of those things sounded good.

Continue saving until you see something that you really really want. If you're torn between four things you probably don't want any of them that bad and just feel like spending money.

I have a good sum of money in my bank account and when I get my scholarship I'll have that extra money to spend. I just really don't know which I'll end up enjoying more.

So if you spend all the extra money you will have, what are you going to have to live off of for college? I'd buy the cheat for the game you wanted, save the rest and see what you need for college. Laptop, books, food, booze...women.

Buy a treadmill.

I'm going to live off of all the money in my bank account, the money acquired from my job, and money from my parents if it has to come to that.


Buy a treadmill.

I'm underweight.


I've decided to pre-order GoW 3 and save the rest for when the bfbc2 cheat is released.

I got 200 dollars from family members, and what did I do? Put it in my wallet. I've kept all the money I've got from the past year and started a new bank account just for my personal needs. I'm underage, so this makes sense. And now, I have a little over 1 grand in that bank account, 300 in my safe, and 200 in my wallet.

And along with keeping this money from the past year, I've probably only spent about 400 dollars.

This allows me to be able to buy bigger-and-better things when I'm 100% I want it.

It seems like you are comfortable with what your plan is. But it seems like you might not truly know, because I don't think your aware of what college is going to do to you economically wise, that is. I know you think you're all set because of your bank account and your scholarship, but that might not cut it. And you'll be sorry once you realize it.

I know I have at least $1k in my account but no idea how much exactly. It's enough that my parents don't want me to know the amount though.
