Ran out of useless stuff to buy

Well over the last couple years I have acumilated alot of stuff... I have a mid level gaming computer (I built)... 42" Tv with a 1000W surround system... couple other usless tvs.. all 3 major gaming systems... And now Ive run out of things to spend my money on.. Wanted to upgrade to a bigger tv were talking 50+" but its in the $800 range.. I got my 42" plus a little 250W surround sound system for 600 when I got it... Hmm I wonder what I should do with my money..
 


Spend the money on a new girlfriend or wife?

Send the money to me?

Buy cheap hookers and expensive wine?

Sell everything and invest in Apple computer stock?

Apple just announce that they have more cash ($76 billion) then the entire USA government right now, which only has ($74 billion) :th_laugh-lol3:
 
Well I dont have that much extra cash lol I budget for those things I want. The Tv was bought on credit with no interest for 12 months :P. And Tod thats exactly it lol :P its amazing im still in college but making good money so I get to have fun with my money
 


Get a ba home stereo get a set of nice klipsch get a nice sub and look at harman kardon for a receiver. This is not useless stuff
 
Well that thousand is bs always will be. Its a gimmick but if you are in an apartment I wouldn't recommend a velodyne sub. My neighbors house is about 50ft between the houses and they comPlain they can feel the bass all the way over there so I'm sure your neighbors would hate you
 


Exactly so in that case im good with what I have. Being a single guy living with my parents while going to college and having a well paying job I pretty much bought all the electronics Ill need lol.
 
I spend about 1/6 of what I make, and save the rest... If you have the ability to save more than that.... do it....

I graduated college with a 10k headstart, and I have grown that to about 50k 3 years after college..... This is pure money I have placed into savings and liquid investments...

With that money, I still do not have the ability to comfortably move out...

Buying gaming systems and TV's is not a good way to get ahead.
 


What kind of hardware do you have in ur comp?

upgrade cpu and vid cards, buy 3 24inch monitors :) you can find 24's really cheap now.

water cool everything? which i just did and its awesome

Im just like you, i gota keep buying cool useless stuff, and its hard to stop lol
 
I just have a standard 3.4 quad core setup with a 1GB gddr5 video card.. Running 4GB of DDR3 ram... And I dont want to worry about the whole water thing because the computer itself gets moved alot and thats just one extra worry. As for monitors I dont use it all that often to need more than my one 24" widescreen lol

Yes to this. You may not think it's a great idea now, but someday you will wish you had that extra money you were blowing on useless stuff. Or save it and pay back school loans (if you have any).
 
Let the man spent his money... You only live once and today could be your last day, so enjoy it.

I would say buy some GP mods, because this is a car forum, and going fast is better than sitting at home playing games!
