I know it isn't much, but it is something.
I am thinking of getting a DS and since I also have a $40 Gamestop Gift Card, I would have money left over.
I would like $40 left over too...maybe to save.

how old are you?

Why do you need to buy somethign just because you have money....if you actually wanted something, you wouldnt have to ask what to buy....

So instead of wasting $175...just save it for when you actually want something, and maybe by then youll have a lot more....$175 is basically pocket change..cant get anything for it...

Invest. Invest all of the money that you can. Recession = bad. Save save save, don't spend. If you invest, you can earn interest in the money.

Investing your money would help the economy and not you? Uhhh....:| Right...

If you got 175$ for your birthday I wouldn't even spend that, nowadays that isn't that much money. You should just save it.

If you can spend an extra $25+tax of your own money, I'd recommend some Grado SR225s. I just bought some and I love em! Or buy $175 worth of gas and sell it in a couple months for 200% profit :P

What would I save it for?

dude when ur 70ish years old, and wanting some money in ur retirement so ur not dead on the streets,

175 dollars at an 8% interest rate is 12 thousand dollars.

so think about it, that's only 175 bux, think about if u had a par time job and acutally saved some of that and was able to keep like 3000 in the bank, at only an 8percent yearly interest rate, that's 200 thousand dollars when ur 70. so the more u put in the bank now the more later.

play around with this:
