Recently, I just found out that I'm getting a check of $1,500 USD from the government in a few days. Every year I get a grant for being smart to pay for college and it is divide in between The fall and spring semester. Whatever money that is left, I get to keep for myself. Last semester I was able to buy a Wii because of that grant money but this time around I'm going to do something else with it.
The first thing that came to mind was that I should buy a new computer. However, if I did that then I would have spent all of that money on one thing. The second thing that can to mind was that I should buy figures, manga, and Anime DVDs but in reality it would seem rather wasteful. What I may end up doing is go on a shopping spree but with a $100 USD spending limit. I'm going to save the rest of the money until I have $3000 USD to buy a new computer.
I really don't chase after money like a lot of people do, I just let it flow into my life and that is why I'm doing very well during these times. I was taught from a very young age that money should not be lusted for but it is still important an thing in one's life. So, what would you do if you got that amount of money?

Buy lotto tickets, muahahaha!
@Anon:MWuhahaha!!!Great Idea, but kinda wastefulXP
So if I did have $3000, I'd buy a laptop+tablet, always wishing for one:3
I would bank it until tuition is due. Anything that's left will sit in the bank until tuition is due again.
$3000 just for a computer? What kinda computer ur planning to buy? Unless it's a Mac then I understand but u can get a decent desktop for under $2000.
As for me, I will get a Macbook.
well...
i think u need to think wisely what to do with that much money...
Yea, I would've probably banked it.
I would probably bank and save part of it after using it to pay for college stuff, maybe take a closer look at what I really need or want on a very personal basis that is going to be worth the buy. One needs to be careful with one's money or one will risk losing it all by not spending it judiciously.
I would more than likely do nothing with it. It'll sit in the bank with the rest of my money since I don't really have anything I want to buy these days.
Just build the computer yourself, for around $800 dollars you can get a computer that in the store would normally cost $1,300, as for me I need to improve my anime collection,get some more books,and a graphics card
I'd stash 1k and spend $500. It's about to be my favorite time of the year, tax returns. This year we're going to be spending them on home improvements and a bunch of figures (etc) we haven't been able to get yet, as well as whatever we'll end up needing for our son for school. Of course we'll also save a fair amount for emergency money or for a family vacation.
save it untill i hav $1,000,000,000 thean bye all of the anime dvds muhahahahahaha!
(ill share with all of you)

Doing very well? Wouldn't a job be needed to achieve that ?
@O-Dan: In my case, not much left on my tech list... except my first HDTV. Ahh, 46-inch 1080p Samsung, lol. Would be nice...
I inherited about $10000 recently. Being one who impulse buys alot of things I decided I was going to prevent myself from doing that and just put it in a seperate savings account. Everytime I get some spare cash, instead of spending it on figures or something, I just put it in that savings account. The interest is quite good.
What I think you should do with your excess cash is something similar. Anything you don't want to spend just put somewhere to stop yourself from doing it.
My school also gave me $1500 in the form of entry scholarship. Spent around 300 on figures and the rest are in the bank.
I would pay off more of the principle balance from the bill for my car so I can stop monthly payments sooner. You thought I'd say figures huh? :) When it's that much I put it towards useful things. If I was randomly getting $100 I'd say I'd get another Pullip (it's a doll from Japan)
$3,000 for a computer? I wonder what kind of computer you're going to buy, Alienware? Mac? or else?
