If you had $600.00 Canadian (~$590 US) to blow. What would you do with it?

I do have ~$590 US, and I keep it in a savings account.

Pokemon cards!
Honestly, it depends on the rest of your situation. Is it 600 extra dollars? Money that you don't really need to spend on anything specific? If that's the case, save 300 and spend 300 on something silly and unnecessary. Reward yourself for being frugal.

Response by poster: Yes I want to blow it. It is 600 extra dollars. I've thought about charity but I think the girlfriend and I could have a really good time with it.

Wait until you have a $600 emergency?

If I had $600 extra I'd bank it. However, if I had no choice but to blow it, I would round up a bunch of friends, booze, and coke, then have one helluva night.

Put it in a savings account. Chances are over the next while you shall save a similar amount and wouldn't it be nice to feel it doubled when you do?

Me, I'd go buy a guitar or a microphone; or new speakers or a TV. Something audio/visual related? Shitload of DVD's?
It would buy one of you a plane ticket somewhere.
Night in a hotel?
Or lots and lots of delicious Purdy's chocolate, which my wife brings me whenever she has to go to Calgary on business.

Put it all on black. Repeat until its gone, or you have a much larger amount, in which case you'll have a new question for us.

Save it for when the dollar goes back down. Or buy me a drink (yes I'm an expensive date).
Seriously though...high-interest savings? Buy a nice digital camera? Re-stock your wardrobe with a few quality pieces that will last you. Some good leather shoes that will last you for every funeral you have to go to for the rest of your life?
Pay off your credit cards or student loans is the very first thing I would use any spare cash for.

Definitely a guitar, for me. Although I'd save 400$ and blow the other 200$, just so I'd have a clear conscience, if I didn't save all $600.
Things in the $200 or less range:
- guitar
- WACOM tablet
- day trip skiing for two
- dinner and concert (for Valentine's day maybe?) For that matter, plan a nice day out/in
- some really good winter gear (gloves, scarf, hat) for this godforsaken weather?
- spa makeover

Dinner at an awesome steak house (Ruth's Chris, frex) and an iPhone?

This is absolutely chatfilter. If you and your girlfriend want to blow $600 on a good time, great -- but none of us know what you like to do. $600 worth of knitting needles and fine wool? $600 worth of Nerds Rope and Shasta? $600 to get the car cleaned and serviced and then a box set of Hitchcock DVDs and a bathtub full of pate?
