I have a job, what should I buy... by Joe on 04-30-2006 at 06:52 PM

I make about $70 US a week for the next 3-4 weeks and school will be out and i'll have more hours... and be making about $150 a week through the rest of the summer... but what should I do with my money... discuss (semi-seriously)

Oh, and this is in tech talk because I want to spend my money on things that ddeal with technology... i.e. video games, computer, computer related things, MP3 Player..

Buy a laptop?

From somewhere (comic/some random person says):
Save it in the bank, and watch it grows :cheesy:
[/offtopic]

Laptop is actually a good idea.
I myself want to get one.

Well  to be frank with you, if you don't need anything, just save the money for the meantime..

How about this cool mp3 player?

I was thinking about snowboarding, you have to wear sunglasses anyway, and it is really nice to listen music then, so...(Y):D:D

I heard the Thumps suck.... anyways, i only have a job so I can buy things... I don't wanna save it all up

If you really want to spend that money I guess I'm obliged to let you give it to me.

Or buy a PC game that doesn't have StarFORCE on it.

Wait for PS3, buy a PSP, buy an HD tv, Wait for battlefield 2142, buy a graphics card, 20"+ widescreen monitor, X360, new PC ( not a laptop tho ), buy the moon and give it to your gf.

RE: I have a job, what should I buy... by Joe on 05-01-2006 at 02:28 AM

I'd rather have the Wii...:dodgy:... out of all next-gens... so i think a good bit of my money will be devoted to that.

RE: I have a job, what should I buy... by [MR] on 05-01-2006 at 02:31 AM

World of Warcraft :cheesy:  Or a whole new computer or whatever you want, just go in bestbuy and look around.

RE: I have a job, what should I buy... by brian on 05-01-2006 at 02:39 AM

iPod video. :D

RE: I have a job, what should I buy... by Dane on 05-01-2006 at 02:50 AM

:-P, Well, the first thing I bought was a Digital Camera (Canon SD400), 1GB of SD Memory, and a Printer.  Second check I bought about 25-30 movies.  Just buy what you want, but be responsible about it.

Save it up for a next-gen console!

RE: I have a job, what should I buy... by Discrate on 05-01-2006 at 06:07 AM

Preciscly, sup up your computer if you'd like but the best bet would be to save up your money, and buy only things you need

That you have to ask about this tells me you don't really need / want anything right now. 

Don't look for something to buy just because you can.  You will end up with some expensive item you don't need and no money when you realize what you really should have bought.

RE: I have a job, what should I buy... by Idium on 05-01-2006 at 04:00 PM

dude i agree with adeptus there, dont go spending cause u can. that got me into financal trouble, rather what u should do is look around for one thing. that u realy want and save up for it.

Trust me my overdraft is still over $1200 because i did just what im advising against now.

The morral here is be carefull with the money u earn.

I heard vibrators are a good laugh with your mates... 8-)

jk.

If I were you, I'd keep saving up for ages, only buying the things you need, when you need them... By the end of the year, or by next year you'll have:

110 * 52 = $5720.

(that's with $40 per week spending money)

That's a lot of money :p

But he'll not even make 52 weeks next year :P, only in 3 or 4.. since summer are 3 months ( 12 weeks ) + 3 or 4 weeks he said = 16 Weeks per year.. So he'll only achieve

110 * 52 = $5720.

in 3 Years and something
