yay for birthday money, what should i get?



ok here's the deal..it was from my grandparents for birthday and they thought really hard about what to get me but decided they'd let me do the choosing, and just gave me the money...so i'd like to actually get something if i can.

here's what i have already gadget wise
nice enough comp, iaudio x5, sennheiser headphones, logitech z5300 speakers, 2 19" monitors, SE k750i cellphone.
ibanez rg570 guitar, boss gt6 pedal

i don't have a car, and won't be getting one until earliest this fall.

and it doesn't necessarily have to be a big thing....


what would YOU buy with $400 if you had to spend it (no saving)

A six month CD. That will give you six months to ponder instead of blowing $400 on an impulse buy.

Put it in your savings for something bigger. Unless of course you have a well paying job already and have a car. I would get the new Gateway 21" Widescreen. It's 600 but save for it!

Wanted a change. I've made 16709 posts in just under 11 months so I was kind of getting sick of nerdguy. Plus it's like looking into a mirror so it was a bit creepy.

If you want to you could buy a rifle and go out and enjoy shooting targets. Just plunk it in a savings account and let it grow, or even better ROTH IRA
