I disagree... I spend a lot of money on having fun, going out of town, spas, dinner/drinks... because I NEED TO.. I work a lot.. TOO MUCH really and the way I look at it is... if all my responsibilities have been met (kids, mortgage, car, billllls) then work hard PLAY HARD.. you cant take it with you when you die.
First of all, LMAO @ this nigga for constantly denying that it's for the PS3 when Lord knows that's the only electronic equipment that cost $600 that you need 6 months to save up for.
Second, if you saw my bank statement, then you would think $600 is a ton of money. $600 would take the respirator off of my checking account. At the same time, I can spend $600 in no time, with the constant release of Jordans, school, food, and a girlfriend.

let me ask this.........do you have a family? Do you have parents or siblings? If so how about doing something for them. How about taking them out to dinner or buying them a small present to show them your appreciation. Take them to the movies or go to the lake and have a bar-b-q. OR spend it on the item you were originally contemplating on buying.
This year i got a fat tax return($4,800) but instead of blowing it off on things i only WANT but don't need(i.e. car stereo system, home theater,trip to vegas, xbox 360, rims & lower suspension, HDTV LCD screen, dv camcorder, etc etc) instead i spent money on my fiance, a trip to humbolt county(eureka&arcata), new clothes for myself, gave mom & pops some cash, gave my yung brothers $50 each(that's alot for them), gave flowers my future mother-n-law(big points right there!), had a great dinner w/ both sides of the family at this mexican restaurant(bill was thru the roof but our stomachs were satisfied, we laughed our asses off, we bonded w/ da family, and we had a great time), and i put the rest of the money we had left in my savings account for emergency purposes and to save money for my son's college tuition.
Some people manage money differently as others and what each person those with their money is their personal business......
here's something that i learned from my college professor "it's not how much you make, it's how much you keep"......i never thought that i would learn something valuable from the most boring teacher on campus.........
and for all you youngs kids........INVEST IN SOME STOCKS!!!!!!! That's where the money is!!! My homie had a couple shares for sysqo systems and when he graduated from already had 20 g's waitin for him(he didn't sell it....he's still holding onto it). It's risky but you gotta do your homework and invest in the best company.......

hell yeah $600.00 is a lot of money. Atleast you got to enjoy your money pimp. I lost 1500 at lucky chances playing pai gow. I just got side tracked and started betting like i was made of fuckin money. That's what happens when you're there for 24 hours. It was all bad. I drove home calling myself and idiot and imagining all the stuff i could have bought. shame on me. I made $40 into $1500. I thought that was amazing and amazing how I lost it all too.
hell yea i got rent payments, car loan payment, car insurance payment, plus i drive an SUV so its about 400 a month for gas, plus i got a girl, and RRSP payment comes out every month....that shit adds up, plus a mans gotta eat, and i love to eat. but i always find a way to save extra money, i usually save about 15% of whatever my paycheque is. therefore i could save 600 dollars and it wouldnt take very long.
as for how i would spend it, it depends how i feel. sometimes i will go out and buy a new fit, or some new clothes. i could spend $600 easily at the mall on clothes. i stil aint got an xbox or playstation, maybe i would buy one of those. there isnt a whole lot of new CDs out that i aint got....but maybe a new loveseat, power tools, a new TV (electronics is one of my favorite things to spend money on), take my girlfriend away for a weekend (its campin season) or something for my other loved ones....electronics is one of my favorite things to spend money on. other than 'material' stuff like that, i could build a deck in front of my place, a shed out back, maybe a cement bbq pad, get the eavestroughs replaced, paint the house, who knows...
