Trust me, save it. I am 17, had a job from 14 til about 4 months ago. Only having a grand in my bank account sucks. I wasted soo much money. If i had saved it instead of buying toys, I'd have ~6k now. Save it.

how much do you have in saving? how long can you last if you lost your income source? how much do you have in the retirement fund? I can go on. there is a lot of reason to save than spending on some useless junks.

He's 15 man. I doubt if he has a retirement fund :p

I say save it...eventually you'll need to spend it on something important (car, school, etc)

TheOasis, just acknowledge that saving the money would be the safest thing to do yet you don't care so we can get on to spending your money.

They're trying to convince you spending $500 on a single item that you don't need isn't a good idea. I'm 16 myself, and I can see where they're coming from. Some teens just don't get it though, I guess.. :confused:

I got a better idea. donate it to church and become a christian. have you heard of the Pascal Wager? that's the reason you should invest in the eternal life.

i'm thinkin a prepaid i860 for $300 and thats it, maybe an ipod shuffle because i lack any portable audio. thats $400.

sounds good.

and for those who called me a spoiled brat; i worked for this money, i did dishes at applebees for 3 months, sure its grunt work, but i did it, and i'm spending it the way i want to spend it. not like i begged my parents for this money.

"What if I die tomorrow?"

Buy some sense kid. Maybe some new boxers... those skid marks are probably rough on the moms.
