How2PK Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Don't buy anything if you don't know what to buy. You'll see that after you spent the money you will find something you really want but you can't afford it because you bought something you didn't really want.

xvillexvalox Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Don't buy anything if you don't know what to buy. You'll see that after you spent the money you will find something you really want but you can't afford it because you bought something you didn't really want. There are several things I do want, but I can't figure out what would be better in the long run, and I'm not sure what kind I should buy. - A good digital Camera - Possibly my own laptop/personal computer for my room - Something for my car Any more help/suggestion?

Giordano Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 You're into digital art, so I'll say camera. But a laptop could be good. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvillexvalox Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Get yourself a CD collection. I don't buy CDs anymore. I "Share" music (Since I already have all the CDs of my favorite group, and I don't like buying CDs for one song), and I have tons of freinds who have bajillions of cds I could copy anytime. Oh yea, anouther thing to add - I already have a Mp3 player ( iRiver Pmc ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 If those are the three things you wanted to get, go for the cd collection Apinagez suggested.

Lionheart_0 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Question? why are you 14 with a car already? im 16 and still yet to get my licence... im too lazy. Anyways, what i suggest is to cheack if your school will go on any major trips. I know if i had that much (except i have more \ ) and knew there was gonna be a major trip, i would use it as the basis of a fund for the trip (I.E. im going to europe next year, im paying for it all by myself. I already had over 1k saved, and i just need to save another 1.78k.) Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!

I already had over 1k saved, and i just need to save another 1.78k.) When I was around 8 or 7 my dad was drunk and he promised to buy me a convertible before I turned 16. Muahaha, things like cleaning my room I can forget in an hour but this, I wouldn't let my dad forget about ever. So last year he came across an AWESOME deal. 14k for a Miata MX-5 '99 No dents, no scratches, some seat damage (Cracked leather on the bottom, but who cares, that's wear I sit), no mechanical problems, comes with a hard top, not many miles, ALL FOR 14k!! (Even though I'm not 15 or 16 yet, my dad has already been giving me lessons in parking lots and stuff) I know that my highschool band goes on alot of awesome trips (Monreal, Paris, Hawai'i) but I chose not to be in band, I don't think I'll find out about many class trip to a different country until I start freshman year. save it... or buy a camera. make awesome pictures and sell these --> more money That would be more like my dream career :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 if you dont have any money saved yet, save it. put it into a 4 year CD, you should get around 4% at todays rates. youll definently need that money later on a lot more than you need it now (unless your parents are paying for everything).

(Already have photoshop) Any help? How can you have a car at 14? I mean, since your 14 Im skeptical because no country that Ive heard of allows 14 year olds to drive and what sort of parents buy a child a car at that age? For christ sake Im 18 and dont have a car, but that irrelevant since its my fault for being a lazy git and not getting lessons or working to pay for a car :boohoo: . ------------------ Anyway if you have that sort of money you should save it. Since you have to ask people what to do with it I presume theres nothing that you desperately want, so theres no point of spending it for the sake of spending it. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vladmoney Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Digital camera is pretty cool idea. Maybe an mp3 player (ipod or something) and you can later buy a connecter that hooks it up to you car. You have a lot of money, that must suck. Visit my DeviantArt Page at http://vladmoney.deviantart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashi Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 - At 15 I can get a minors permit to work and earn around 2000+ a month. You expect to make $2000 dollars a month with a part time job on a minor's working-permit? My sister is a waittress at a very popular Mexican restaurant, and working 4 hour shifts, 5 days a week (and occasionally working double shifts, of course.) She's lucky to make $1000 a month (and that's including tips). What are you doing for your part time job, mining gold?! :) My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to.

Quer_Skulll Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 2000 a month.. at 15.. think not i'm lucky if i reach like 800 a month and i work in A-Status top class restaurant and im older.. and thats like working all week.. every week something telse you come from a rich family.. :? tho my advise buy yourself a nice Epiphone Archtop. with everything on it and start playing like the freaking wind..

xvillexvalox Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yea that number does seem a bit extreme now that I think of it, really I just pulled out that number randomly, so I changed it now. #-o i'm lucky if i reach like 800 a month and i work in A-Status top class restaurant and im older.. and thats like working all week.. every week :?: Less than minimum wage? 800 dollars a month seems to low for a top class restaurant... Anyways, thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezcake Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If I had $700, I'd save up a little more and get myself a digital SLR. and seeing that you're into imagery, tha'd be my suggestion. :) ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.

Ne0z Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Do your car up put a decent sound system in it and put some money towards your liscence for when you can get it.
