I have $15,000.. what should I buy?

Okay, I save my money pretty well, been saving for 2 years. I got a really good job, my truck is paid off all the way, and I have absolutely no debt. My family wasn't rich at all, I worked for everything I got and didn't get any handouts or silver spoons. I got my own apartment and have a nice samsung 1080p 46' lcd tv and ps3, wii, xbox360, so don't need any of those. My girlfriend and I broke up last week, went out for almost 3 years. So I'm pretty much free to do whatever.. I need to get out and live a little, I need to change my routine... so I need some ideas of something fun to do or stuff to buy. I got 2 weeks vacation coming in august.. I was thinking of a cruise maybe.. thoughts?

Invest it in AIG.gobo212

Nice. ;)

Give it to a charity of your choosing and/or go help out with the charity itself. The most satisfaction I've ever gotten is when I helped people who really needed it. Feels awesome. :)

You should buy THIS Lol

If you have no pressing needs, why not save it? Especially in this dire economy, you never know when a stash like that could come in handy.

Travel :D But two weeks isn't really long enough got any longer holidays soon?

slap your girlfriend across the face with a hundred dollar billlonewolf604

Put it into a retirement fund. It'll accrue interest like crazy within 30-40 years.olion

You should buy stock in firms that have taken hits but have sound fundamentals.thepwninator

Buy my gratitude by transfering all funds to my bank account:P

Buying stuff is overrated. Take a vacation. Save/invest the rest.

If you have nothing particular in mind. Just save it.

Ultimately, I'd say save it...if you live in the USA. Seriously. I wouldn't spend any great amounts of money right now. But...a vacation wouldn't be bad, however, in your case. Sounds like you've earned it. Airline tickets are pretty cheap right now. Where do you want to travel?

make it rain.

massive amounts of vidya games. play them until your brain begins to atrophy. then you can claim medical benefits as well.

I would either A.) Buy the custom drumset of my dreams (which would cost around $5k) or B.) Go on a fantastic vacation.

Or, you could be lame and invest or save like a boring mature person.

Take a nice trip somewhere, maybe Hawaii

Buy every videogame consoles and videogames ever created :) and take a vacation to tahiti guam hawaii, or any tropical paradise and drink a magaraita while laying in a hammock which is tied to 2 gigantic palm trees and overlooking the crystal blue wata!

I don't know about you, but I'd use it as a down payment on a used Acura NSX. I'm obsessed with this car.

A down payment on a mortgage.

Gotta go with the guys suggesting investing. Maybe not right this moment... but this may well turn out to be a once in a lifetime opportunity to turn that 15 grand into much, much more. There's something you need to keep in mind - if you don't know what to spend money on, you shouldn't spend it. Spending for no good reason is a great way to ruin your debt free existence, and whatever you buy isn't going to provide you much fulfillment, since you didn't really want it to begin with. So keep saving. Sounds like you're doing well at being different (in the good way) from the majority of young people out there.

Oh yeah

Hawaii is great. I think it was my favorite vacation spot of all time.

Well after 14 days I felt like I did all I wanted. Never got tired of the ocean and the scenery though. It's a little more magical than midwest America.

Wow now. I was only 10 or so. That would be 9 years ago. My parents were in charge of what we would do on the island. I believe we were on Maui. I know we visited some part of the island that was considered to be a big deal. One of my favorite memories was being on a smaller ship for about 30 people and having dolphins jump in front of us before we reached a destination where we did some snorkeling.

We visisted Hawaii (main island) when I was hree but I don't remember it. My parents told me that they left me in the car when I was sleeping just to go get a better view of the ocean from some spot and I woke up and freaked out. My barf full of strawberries was everywhere :lol:

Edit: IF you would have invested just $1000 two weeks ago when the shares were selling for 38c You could have made $4000 when the stock went up to $1.68 just last week. Think about how much you could have made with $15000.
