MY birthday is on Tuesday and I have already started to recieve cards from family. As of yet I only have 50.00 dollars, but I am expecting around like 300.00. I just can't decide what to spend it on. So I would like to know what all of you would spend it on. And please no suggestions of saving it or whatever. If they new I was saving it or paying bills with it, they would stop giving me the money and start buying me stupid crap I don't want or need. Thanks

You could put the money in the bank. But I would spend it on beer and hookers.

No donations

I am turning 22, so I can get smashed if I want

I don't think the GF would like me getting a hooker

Didn't I say I'm not saving it?

Not sure about a hobby, I play video games, like to listen to music. I was thinking of taking up target shooting, but don't want to buy a gun till I know I will like it. I like to watch movies, and I already know of a couple DVDs I will be getting. I wouldn't mind getting a laptop too, but those are expensive. Just wondering what cools things there are out there, that I haven't thought of.

you're 22 and your parents/family still give you money for your birthday?
I don't think I received anything after highschool (didn't even get/ask for much then).
By the time I was in college, I had a hard time finding what to buy for my younger relatives as presents.
 
If you don't know what to get wait until you do know before you spend it. Look around, don't spend it just to spend it.

Maybe you could redecorate your room partially.
 
Canon S400 - well that'll cost you about another $100 but oh well 🙂I can't wait till I get mine..

Anyways, get an iPod, axim, clothes, stuff for the GF, or throw a nice party. But if ya got any Credit
Card debt I'd pay them off.
