If i had a outstanding debt i would opt for that first. but i dont so i would go for a 19 inch moniter and wait for a gf4. Or you could literally BURN IT!!! but that proves to be less satisfying. and about upgradeing your ride , if you got car troubles better to fix it now then wait. cause it will get worse and cause more damage.

I would (and by experience which will last you a life time) buy you and your wife a nice 2 night fancy hotel room with champagne... berries.. room service and the works.

Trust me!

It will do wonders for your love life and for each of you.

It would probably be the best 500 bucks you've spent!

I know my g/f would die for something like that

Very good idea.... (you can always pay off you CC later)...

Although I would get her the:

"THE GRAND DE-STRESSOR
The ideal revitalizing package to relax and relieve tension, beginning with a hydrotherapy tub treatment with natural seawater to revitalize the skin and soothe sore muscles, a full body Swedish massage, a European cleansing facial treatment, a pedicure and manicure, ending with a relaxing shampoo and style finish. (Approx. 6 hours)"

As for tech stuff.... there is always X-mas.....

"Rainy day" sounds wise.

Before you spend it, you might try getting another job (just a practice run, of course). With all the people out of work and economic recovery a politician's pipe dream, $500 might put an extra week between a pink slip and living on the street.

Just a word to the wise.

If I had money to burn my bills would most likely be paid off. As of right now I am saving money to replace the turbo on my car when it goes. Since the car has 150,000 miles who knows when that will be though the turbo is still putting out 14PSI. But when it does go I am going to replace the turbo, intercooler, and engine. Then I am going to start working on making her faster.
