I have money I don't know what to do with it. I try to convince myself to blow it on anything - laptops, LCDs, clothes, but nothing really comes into effect.

Should I try to gamble it away on poker? Or invest it? Or just let it sit in savings accounts...

I have a car, I have a computer, I have a crappy laptop. A cellphone, a digicam, an mp3 player. I don't think I really need anything else...

So please, ideas. ;)

edit: And I have a girl, so the sechs is $0.

umm...investments? Isn't that what most people do who don't live paycheck-to-paycheck do?

Invest it in income oriented stocks.

Go get some hookers. $6000 should last you about a week of partying. ~$1000 a day.

Simple solution.
All on RED.
Instant $12K
Or No more worry on what to do with the $6K

Change it all in for pennies then put it in a big silo like vault and swim in it like Uncle Scrooge from Duck Tails!!!!



Thats what I'd do at least.

if I had a gun to my head and had to blow it? I'd probably by a niiice hdtv.

but in reality, I'd put it in a savings account for a rainy day. never know when my car is gonna die or the roof will spring a leak.

That's not investing. That's gambling. Oh how I miss the go-go days of 98-2000 when stocks would move $100 in a day. Those were some fun times. Real Estate bubble has nothing on the tech stock bubble.

Yea, Real Estate has always been interesting but I doubt I could get into it with just 6K. It's in savings right now but I'd like to see a higher MARR.
