I got a check for my birthday for $100 dollars. I wasnt expecting this, hence, I dont know what to buy.

I dont want to just save it, and I dont want it to all just sort of dwindle away to nothing.

I was thinking of buying a cell phone (Nokia 6360) off ebay and then activating it with eCallPlus.

Thoughts?

100 tacos for $100 dollars--What a deal!

edit: Cell phone is good idea if you need a replacement. How about something you don't already have?

Yes, it would. They're called DVD-Rs ;) I have yet to run across a player that won't play one of my burned DVD-Rs :)

but there's no reason to burn dvds if you can just ftp the files over, or even just play then accross the network ;)

i say spend about half, on clothes, shoes, cds, movies, whatever you want/need and keep the rest for whatever may come, i like to have something to fall back on, i keep only 20 from every pay check for food/gas/etc, sock away the rest

I've already bought a lot of clothes lately. I spent 112.00 on two items at Express yesterday. Im sort of "clothes'd out". Maybe I'll peruse Hot Deal and FSFT.

In that case be sure to save 20.00 to slip the cashier when you tell her you forgot your idea. JK


I am in the same boat as you. Just got my taxes back and after I pay off my bills and save some, I will still have about 100.00 left over, what to do with it is the question.

Yeah for some reason it always seems like I want things when I have no money, then when I get money I can;t decide what I want.
