I don't think you could buy a decent car or house with $1000, quit school or your job or buy a private jet. Maybe you should increase 1000 to something else. It doesn't leave many options open.

Let's see what you can do with $1,000..........

Buy some musical instruments?
Give the money to other people?
Donate the money?
Buy some animals?
Go somewhere?
Get a new computer? - Not a good comp probably.
Buy a new car?
Get a new house?
Get your own private ship?
Buy your own private train?
Get your own private plane?
Build your own gaming company?
Quit school? - That's free.
Quit your job?
Buy anything you want? - As long as what you want is less than $1,000.

I would pay part of my car off.  That would only be about 4 months worth.

I'm going to have to say put it towards new computer. Won't pay for all of it, but it's a good amount. I currently don't own a computer that will run SC4 properly, since the computer it's on is acting up.

If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.
If you can read this, you deserve a cookie.

That should be plenty for a new computer, if you don't get a monitor.  Unless you plan on getting the extreme top of the line stuff.  But you don't really need that for SimCity or any other game currently out.  I got mine for $770.  It runs SimCity very well.  I probably could have gotten it even cheaper if I shopped around a little more.  Use the extra money for a better video card and a little extra RAM and $1,000 would be a great computer.

I'd put that $1,000 toward my credit card debt. I think you'd have to be VERY creative to use the $1,000. Think about it, anyone can spend a $1,000,000 and still have some left over. EAGCE had a good idea and very responsible outlook. If I had no credit card debt, I'd use it toward a down payment on a new/used car or buy a new computer.

Hmm, i would either save the money, or buy a new computer, i don't
how much a new computer cost in the US, but here in Germany, you will
get a fast computer for that money.

please do not bump old threads (I'd buy RAM to make my computer faster, and maybe a better graphics card.)

$1,000 wouldn't get you very far, so I'd just waste it on a car stereo amplifier 3.gif
