I wish I could just forget about a paycheck!

Depending on your current gaming setup, I suggest a whole new TV and audio equipment. No specific suggestions right now, but hey...

well i should say i'll have another 500 or so this month after bills are taken care of. I really want to buy a 50"plasma or something.. but i was out rummaging this past weekend, and found someone had a 52" projection tv (APEX) Cheap brand I know.. but was trying to sell it for 300. I told them i'd give them 100 for it... and they wouldn't take less than 200... but they gave me their number just to see if it sold. It didn't. So they're having 2 more sales until the end of the month, and if they don't sell it, they'll sell it to me for 150. Is this a good buy for now? or should i just get a HD right away? I also want a 7.1 setup and leather couch :) I'm always up for a good steal though, and it seems like it'd be dumb to pass on the APEX as I could get 150 from someone else easlily even a year or two down the road. what do you guys think?

If you really have nothing better to spend it on that you have to come ask a bunch of people you dont know, then it wouldnt be silly to give it to one of those people you dont know right? Basically what im saying is... Ill take it off your hands! lol

Actually this came as a sarcastic topic at first, even though it's true... in reply to the "I have $200" topic floating. But since i've been contemplating this anyways, thought i'd see if anyone found a good deal somewhere. But if nothing comes of this, i'll send you some cash like a creeper selling candy to kids. heh heh

If I had $3000 i would invest in stock options on the NYSE or Dow Jones Industrial....if you're smart

Or you can stop playing video games and put that money toward some tuition somewhere.

I would buy an HD tv around 32 inches that should be about $600. Then I would buy about 100 gig hard drive for my ps3 which is about $100. Then I would buy a game or two so $130. I would buy some new clothes because I need some which comes to about $300 to $400. Then I would buy some psn cards which would be another $100. As for the rest of the money I would save it for food and gas. Thats about all I really need at the moment.

This is the smartest idea.

Spending every cent you earn doesn't make you a happy player in the long run. ;)

I'd recommend buying like 9 hookers and then killing them and taking your money back to 9 different hookers and then do the same and THEN take it to a casino, blow it on blackjack, rob the casino, take it to a convenience store and buy a TON of ****, sell the **** to a rapist, get the $2000 back and then pay a hitman to kill your enemies, religious officials, political figures, human deities, whatever, after the job is done, rob the dead targets, buy drugs, kill the colombian drug lords, sell their millions of dollars worth of drugs, and then donate all of that money to a church.

jakndaxter7223

I don't know man.. the blackjack part sounds a bit too risky for me.

Based on your statements you make about $75k a year and should have no problem thinking about where that money should go.

No try around 36K I make roughly around 3K a month. I just got lucky because last/this month I got payed 1 day short of 3 times in the month, and my bills will be covered with the "extra" money.

The reason I ask is because it's not an amount thats unreachable. I'm sure theres plenty of people younger than me who make more money (i'm 25).

So saying you have almost $3K from just 2 checks, that would mean you make about $1500 every pay check? Where do you work?

the smartest thing would to put it in your savings account and save it. Thats what i would do.Sk8ter_213

The smartest thing to do is put it in a mutual fund or an IRA and save it. Savings accounts don't earn squat...

What should I do with the money? besides get a life..

bukkookkub

Invest one check (the larger check) into a short term CD. Rates are low but you can get a short term special at most places. Anything 13 months and back @ 3.0% APY (2.97% rate) would be a good decision. The rest I would suggest being conservative with but having a little bit of fun. Unless you get paid weekly, you can't really afford to blow it unless you still live at home... :D
