What should I do with 500$ Birthday money?

Posted at: 2015-05-24 
I'm 14 years old and I just had my birthday and like every year, my grand ma gives me a lots of money (we are jewish and Jewish Grand ma's tend to be very generous...) and I got 800$ from her, I spent 300 on a pair of wireless beats headphones. I don't know what to buy with the rest of my money. (please do not say "save it up" because I don't have anything to save for, I have a 2015 MacBook Pro Retina, iPhone 6, Apple Watch, iPad Air 2, a bicycle etc... And I already have a savings account with like 20 000$ inside so 500$ won't make a big difference) Anyways, if you can find some really cool gadgets (possibly nothing to do with windows or android) like some cool futuristic goggles or whatever, just something really cool. Something Original.

Geez $300 for headphones, seems like that might be enough impulse spending out of it. How about spending some on something gramdma would be proud to see. Maybe some home technology study stuff like a robotics kit, a 3D printer and supplies, or may be just a camcorder for working on videography skills.

Being a creator of entertainment and not just a consumer may provide a greater sense of satisfaction and maybe equp you to have a unique business in the future.

Shapeways.com is a 3D printing service people upload designs to, sort of like teeshirt on zillow.

Gee, in a couple years you will discover cars and girls and you do not see any point in saving up money? {At least the $500. You do seem to enjoy those headphones.

$20,000 is a tidy amount, but life is expensive, so keep adding to it.

Give it away then. You don't need more stuff. Do something valuable that will help someone else if you don't need it.

you WASTED $300 on headphones

You could buy a trampoline!
