I would call the friends I've been neglecting during covid and say, "We're going to blow $500 this weekend and I'm buying a selection of the world's shittiest rum. Let's go camping. Bring your dog."

I’m with you 100%. My good friend has been stuck in Africa since COVID began and it’s really starting to wear on him. He just needs $500 in order to move some money around and return to the US. I already sold my class ring at a pawn shop for $315 because my buddy is getting desperate and he made the suggestion. The craziest part is he’s a Nigerian Prince and he needs my help because his family is angry with him.

Had me in the first part, ngl

Oh god that last part

That's a heartwarming story. It really inspired me. I wish I could make a donation. His royal family will pay me back one day I'm sure

It’s because he spent his money on the extended car warranty.

Are his enemies after him?

There's seems to a lot of broke ass Nigerian Princes

Are his enemies after him?

Take my upvote you silly son of a gun.

Hello friend!! Im also bringing tequila

Let's mix them together. Sure, it's a bad idea, but bad ideas are sometimes great ideas.

Especially when you're out camping!

Camping has its own set of rules😂

I miss camping

And the rules say, if you're awake you should be drinking

Why the shittiest rum? The best rum is delicious, I don't understand 🤔

I'm going to stretch that $500 as far as possible. We're drinking rum in the woods with dogs. This ain't fancy town.

Cheap rum, good tent and sleeping bag, totally makes sense to me

1 rum ham and I’m set.

dude based only on your un and this comment i would totally fuck with that camping trip with our dogs. i've been saving a bag of funguys for exactly this.

I wish my friends would be down with that, none are close enough to make that happen.

I don't have anyone I could call to do that so I'd spend it on tissues for all my tears.

One whole tank of gas 💃🏼🕺🏼

A whole tank!?!?

I know, they say don’t spend it all in one place but just for once I’d like to know what topping the tank off feels like

Exciting!

you're fucking insane. 500$ is a lot of money, but it's not THAT much money.

Could be driving a boat

Plot twist: there's a bullet hole in your gas tank. You will never top it off.

Lol I saw a tweet the other day that was like "We've achieved what most millennials think is impossible. We just got approved for a loan and will be closing on a full tank of gas this weekend."

🎶 Hey big spend-er! 🎵

Dim Sum. All the Dim Sum

I take a few too

Dim Some

Dim All

dim none

dim nun

Dim wit

Dim NaN

Honestly.....being as boring as I am.......i would put it right into the bank

Not boring. You're just responsible lol Reddit will complain about not having any money and then answer questions like these with "spend it all right away!" 🤦‍♂️

Exactly what I do with my bonus each year..

I would buy stocks lol

£383

Or 94738592 rubles…

hey. that's my phone number /s

Probably best off saving it for the leccy and gas bill with the frikkin prices goin up so much. Over 1k a year is a frikkin joke.

my lawn needs some new landscaping

[удалено]

I've wandered the gardening section a few times. That'll get you like 5 potted flowers, 3 bags of mulch, and about 1 foot of landscaping bricks.

I ain't ready to own a garden god damn 😃

Not if you do the work yourself.

So a new lawnmower ?

Sushi !

Don't blame me, but I don't like sushi. I just don't like the taste of fish in general. I enjoy other asian food tho

Thai ?

Pad Thai

Yup Along with some roast duck.... Ginger garlic 🐟 fish I'm ready

You making me hungry !!!!!!

Hahaha

Thai good, you like shirt?

I’m very strange when it comes to fish. I love sushi, but I don’t like cooked fish. I love shell fish and crustaceans though (scallops, lobster, crab etc)

Put it towards New graphics card so I can send my buddy my old one.

only 6 more 500$s needed!

Fuckin crypto. Wasting the latest technology to make the worlds most expensive slot machines.

It’s not crypto anymore. Nvidia and AMD have designed their new cards to be inefficient for mining crypto specifically to prevent another 2018. It’s all the supply chain issues and chip shortage now.

This is the most heartwarmed I’ve been by a company’s actions ever

Bro I'm having to replace my whole ass computer and it hurts so much

burger

Beeschurger

borgar yes

Also burger.

Burger 👍🏿

Burger 👍🏾

Groceries. I'm just starting my 2 week break and food's going to be a little tight. I mean I'm not going to starve but things are rough at the moment.

Same bro, same

A planer. 100%.

Unless it's on CL, you're going to need to add money to that. I bought a Dewalt last year. That was $600.

Naw, King Canada & Craftex both have plenty reliable ones in the $500/$550 area. DeWalt's fine and good, but for a lunchbox planer that doesn't have a helical cutterhead, I'm okay. Half their client base is just people paying for the brand. Outside of their 20v series and their jobsite table saw, I haven't been impressed with their tools.

This guy planes

Got a used porter cable lunchbox bench top for a few hundred. Does good work, I'm happy. Doesn't take any bows or twists out if it's >18" however, luckily I work on very small scsles

Bunch of cocaine and hookers

Agreed. Then I'd just waste the rest.

That video lives forever in my brain

"and waste the rest"

You mean 1 cocaine and 1 hooker

Ice fishing gear

I was going to say fly fishing gear. Similar thought process

That sounds fun. Wish I could go icefishing one day

It is fun! We've only been twice. Love it!

My wife’s already spent that money

Heh that reminded me of a time I was playing $1/2 no limit in Vegas. It's really late/early, guy has about $400 in front of him. His wife comes in looking pissed, grabs 200 off the table and tells him to go-to bed. Now you're normally not allowed to take money off the table (except for food or whatever) but we all decided to let that slide.

Laughed out loud. My wife asked me what was funny. I lied (for my health).

[удалено]

Observe the code!

this is my life

I bet she's still suspicious about it though

Anniversary gift for my wife - she handles all of our finances so it's literally impossible for me to surprise her with anything that costs money lol

Laptop. Really need it for my studies.

Look into student discounts. Sometimes you can also finance one.

Not really a thing where I'm from.

Probably nothing. It'd go straight to my savings account because no matter what I do I'm hemorrhaging money.

Fucking same.

I swear someone is editing my bank statements lmao i CANT be this bad with money

It would pay for the vet visit my cat desperately needs, going later today. Instead I have to borrow money to cover it. Fun times.

A coffee

Same here and still aprox. $498 left for other stuff.

I guess it'd serve as an excuse to get a Switch Pro controller. Everything else I want to buy is too big to fit in my shitty apartment.

The switch pro controller is STURDY. I’ve had mine since launch and have used it to play on stadia on my Mac as well. It’s a good buy.

The thing that's making me hesitate is that I don't play my Switch *that* much, and I have no one to play multiplayer with, so it'd be kind of superfluous.

Fleshlight.

Fuck that!

That’s the spirit!

If I wasn't allowed to save it, and I had to spend it, I would buy tires for my car

A tank of gas.

I would save it to pay for Gas for my car with the prices going up everyday.

A back rub and a blow job

some clothing items that I been wanting to buy (not that I need the money, some things were first on the list)

Food, being homeless is rough

A beer, but I'm buying one anyway.

Ammo

Honestly nothing. I'd put it into my bank account with the other 3k I have sitting in there.

My dad dropped a check off yesterday for $642 bucks from scrapping a gold necklace that belonged to my ex-husband. I had given it to him a handful of years ago after I found it in my side table. I had asked my ex-mother in law to ask ex-husband if he wanted it back before I moved back to my home state and he said no. I didn’t know what to do with it when I got back home, so just gave it to my dad to put in the gun safe. Totally forgot about it over the years. It was a total surprise and yeah, I just put it in the bank.

I mean, I'd also rather save my money for bad times than spending it on stupid things.

Espresso machine and a good portion of accessories to get started!

Where are they selling espresso machines for $500? I thought they were like $1000 and up 😭

A Rancilio Silva is around $800. I’d pitch in $300 to get it done

House fund tbh

The barrel and handguard that i want so i can finish my AR build. I'm still pulling together funds so i can pay my taxes, so as it stands it will be May or June before i can finish it.

Haha! I was about to say "two tax stamps and save up for a third".

My man! Lol. Fellow member of the sneaky pew club.

I think ‘sneaky pew crew’ sounds a little better

Three month stock of Doritos Packet a day, that's around 90-100 large packs.

Wait do you mean like family sized bags? Are you okay?

Those kdramas be long af gotta go big

Are you a fire starter? A twisted fire starter?

I'd top up my gas and electric prepay meters. Energy prices are going up by 54% on April 1st so I'd want as many months of energy at today's prices as I could afford

Crazy, isn't it ? A liter of gas was 1,35€ where I live. Now one liter costs 2,05€

Groceries

Gas. Wouldn’t have much left over

PlayStation racing wheel

For what game ?

Gran tourismo 7

Place to live

Sorry to hear that. I’ve been there myself.

I made it more clear in another reply. Now I feel guilty if people think I don't have a roof over my head, I do. It's just terrible people I live with.

Me and the wife going out to go get some dinner and some chronic after a brutal workout on both our days off 😏

Jenna Jameson flesh light with realistic pulsing and removable sperm jacket

Link to purchase page?

Hella specific

A new weed eater, a six port Ryobi battery charger, and a few new 4hr batteries for the tools.

Yes, I would fill our vehicle, but I’d also treat my wife to a well deserved dinner out!!!!

The following: * X ray machine * crab cakes * sun screen * pants that fit * karate lessons * dill pickle * aerosol cheese * transistor radio * uncomfortable silence * an extra thumb * a hairless cat * beard tonic * premium cable * scuba tank * 24 hour survelince * calamine lotion * rubber duckie * vilgante justice * keyboard guitar * a swinging bachelor pad * comfortable walking shoes * pet cobra * road map * corn rows * pocket kerchief * skulls of the vanquished * cheer leaders * buisiness cards * oil changes for life * crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women * a heated pool * an amicable divorce * custody of the kids * A sedan deville * bionic feet * microphone skills * maid service * a restraining order * the electoral vote * The heavyweight title * bunny slippers * a good attorney * a short sleeved tuxedo * electronic turkey baster * a pistol, and 1 bullet * a baked potato END COMMUNICATION

Breaks for my car

Groceries.

Damn being Russian for 500 bucks I could probably open a fancy hotel

Gas up my car.

Id put is as a deposit on a quality new bed and nice bed sheets as well as pillows.

I'd buy my dad a new guitar case. He has this one of a kind guitar that was a misprint, and he has kept it in a good padded case for a while but the case is old and I don't wanna see him drop it and loose it. I plan on getting him a nice one either way but just gotta wait on a check

If I HAD to spend the $500, Id probably get new shoes and maybe clothes. Ive had most of my wardrobe since 2015, including shoes.

GameStop shares!

Whisky

I would probably put it in my Son's Special Needs Trust, either that or make an extra principal payment on my mortgage.

Assuming we're not counting what I'm already buying in a few hours, probably training bikes for my kids.

I would purchase a musical instrument! Those items can last for a long time if taken care of and they allow us to release emotions in a way that you normally cannot.

I’m trying to save money for a prosthetic for one of my blind eye so it’s gonna go towards that for sure.

A roomba because I fucking **hate** hoovering.

I love vacuuming cause the effect is immediate especially over a dark carpet

Cement, and sand to fix the walls of my room. Paint, and paint rollers afterwards.

TBH, I’d pay it forward by buying groceries for a couple needy single mom families.

You dawg. Hitting on the single moms.

Single moms need lovin’ too 😀

$500 wouldn't change my buying at all.

I think I might be able to gas my car with that...

I don't need more stuff. I don't like having a bunch of shit I have to manager and fret about. I'd save it.

Put in savings

A new queen sized bed in preparation for when my girlfriend gets here from overseas

Oil change for 2 cars

I’d probably wait a while and take my wife and daughter out for a nice dinner.

Nothing put that shit in the savings or investment so it can stack up

Groceries, gas, a movie then the rest in my banking account.

I would struggle and feel conflicted because I should put it into some kind of savings and put it towards my life goal purchases…. **buuuuuuut** on the other hand I could really use a new set of golf club irons

Depends, cash is just put toward my groceries since I’m going shopping today. If it was electronic I’d just use it to pay my water bill that’s due Monday.

Maybe a ps5, or just a bunch of food cause that shit be waaaay to pricey these days.

Probably bread. Gotta have yummy sandwiches first!

If someone gave me $500 I would immediately go buy a new school laptop!

Probably buy my girl a Star Wars Redwing shirt that we forgot at the hockey game last night. It was really important for her to have and I feel partly responsible for forgetting it.

I would put it towards paying something off before I bought something else. I'm 42, so it's all about priorities now

500 dollars really doesnt move the needle for me. So probably find a charity I like.

A new mouse I've been using my grandpa's 15 year old mouse, or something to make myself or friends happy

Flowers for my lady then an ounce of some bomb master kush

500 dollar store dinosaurs of course. If anyone answers differently they're objectively wrong
