Datajack has money to burn and needs an advice
I've been saving money for the last 6 months and suddendly I've realized that I've had enough and I really should start doing those things affecting my social life in a positive way, as friends stop calling you at home after you told them "I'm sorry, I'm broke" for the 13th time they invite you to a brunch (yes, italians are into brunchs, 1920's costume soireès, cosplay meetings and nun porn movies)



I bought some volleyball tickets for the Olympics in Athens, I have 1000€ left and I'm considering if giving them to some humanitarian.org thing or trashing them in something goddamn stupid as buying the whole DVD collection of Buffy the vampire slayer



I am in your hands!

All of the above.

Seriously though, dude - driving lessons are the way to go.

I can think of so many possibilities.
get a used car
get a used motorcycle
go to the greek islands
rent a limo and go to the most expensive restaurant with your friends
buy ultra expensive clothes
rent a pilot and a private plane and take a tour of a province of italy
go on an expedition on a mountain
learn to fall with a parachute
learn to dive
go for a coffee in paris
take a tour of eastern europe
get on a car and drive thorugh europe

endless possibilities

I voted putting it to college savings, although spending a little as a reward is cool too - I suggest the Buffy Season 2 set.

I don't know your overall financial situation, so I voted for savings.

Drivers license? You mean you can get such one in Italy? I have been there a few times, and I have yet to see an Italian who doesn't drive like some insane maniac

As ADG pointed out, I'm not sure the Driver's License is meaningful in Italy. I've been there and witnessed the same thing. They make my driving look boring & overcautious.

1) Buy three hundred Bananas and put them in the bath tub, and squishy

2) Get a prostitute

3) Burn it, literaly, as some kind of protest

4) Buy as many copies of "The Catcher in the Rye" as you can... You know, cause you can never have to many, and girls dig it.

5) Join Amway (I'll sign you up)

6) Wad it up into a big wad and shove it down your pants... Why not?

heh, just got me thinking

"How much for some ribs?"

I want to be a financial planner. Send it all to me and I will invest it for you. Promise. If you fail to get any returns, you can, I dunno, ravish me ruthlessly in a night of passion.

Clothes. I dont know how much is that in dollars, Id spend half of it on stylish clothes and half of it on nice dates.

Put some money on your date. More money put into the date, the more quality experience you'll get. (after all if the girl is having fun = you'll have fun)

SAVE Money at his age!?!?! Are you guys Insane?
You dont want to ***** about saving money when you're young, you want spend every last you have having a good time and making the memories. Driving lessons are a good cause i must admit, but I'd spend a bit on a Holiday, even if it's just a few days in Rome or summat.

Cheers
Matt

Do and buy some nice things for yourself
Do and buy some nice things for your family
Do and buy some nice things for your friends
Invest some of it
And give the rest to charity
