Do you really need all that or do you want it.

Personally if I was in your shoes and won 2k I'd take myself and the misses on holiday for a few weeks. Pick a country you've always wanted to visit and go there.

[niko]

You are having a kid, why the **** do you need $500 in sneakers? Sneakers?

[lakers_forever]

jordan 4s -300
jordan 1s -250


How old are you? You mentioned a wife, but you don't know how to spend 2k?

Why must you spend it all? Why not save it for things you really need? I mean: Jordan 4s, Jordan 1s?! Are you a teenager?

[flipogb]

don't get a Bose

[lakers_forever]

You are having a kid, why the **** do you need $500 in sneakers? Sneakers?

Yep. WTF.

Niko, I'm not american, do grown men actually save money (they usually don't even have to spend) to buy those horrible teenager sneakers? :lol

[niko]

It's huge business so apparently.

damn son, you ballin. they don't call you jefferson money for nothin.

get dat porsche dawg :bowdown:

[Stuckey]

don't get a Bose

what's better tho for a portable speaker?


I've been yearning for those sneakers since I was a boy who couldn't afford nice clothes or even outlet priced clothes

I would travel with the money but I'm leaving the country in 3 weeks for vacation anyways

I just feel like spending cause money is not tight and I've already saved quite a lot the past year

I'm not paying for kids' college tuitions, so I aint got no worries

[lakers_forever]

It's huge business so apparently.

Thanks. I just don't get it. When will an adult even use such childish sneakers? People don't use that for work, right?

And two sneakers from the same type/brand whatever... Even worse. Talk about wasting money.

[DeuceWallaces]

Spend it at the bank. Dipshit is having a kid and wants to drop 1K on some Jordans.

[ace23]

Save it, dummy

You gotta be stupid if you pay 300 for some jordan 4s.

[Raymone]

I'm not paying for kids' college tuitions, so I aint got no worries

You're supposed to believe in your kids, or at least pretend to, even if you think they're not college material.

[Levity]

invest it into ISH.

[Stuckey]

You're supposed to believe in your kids, or at least pretend to, even if you think they're not college material.

they'll be college material for sure, a top 30 college

but I aint paying

again, I dont need to save for anything, I aint got no worries unless the Canadian dollar, Chinese Yuan and US dollar all collapse within my lifetime

[Akrazotile]

Wasting it on that crap? Might as well paypal me a few hundo.


give OP a break, he crunches numbers all day.

[Stuckey]

give OP a break, he crunches pot oddsall day.

dont know why I'm getting shitted on, kids' futures are taken care of up to the age of 18

then I hope they struggle their asses in hellish study/work conditions until I drop dead and they inherit my empire

[imdaman99]

He's said he already saved enough. How about a bigger TV? PS4? Baby Monitor? Diapers? Ass-less chaps for wife?

[Jameerthefear]

PM me and I'll give you my Paypal

Invest it. Or unless your kids have some kind of inheritance or guaranteed scholarship, you should really be helping them out with their education

[Dresta]

Not much point in saving these days. Invest in some foreign stocks.

[MavsSuperFan]

OP comes off as incredibly irresponsible

[TylerOO]

**** buying those gay ass jordan shoes.

[ballup]

I am your distant cousin from Nigeria. Please send me yours money.

[outbreak]

Save it for when your wife realises your a dead beat dad and you need to hire hookers to get laid

[B-Low]

lol at people in here acting like they never spent their money on some stupid shit. If I won 2k I'm blowing it all today. 2k isn't really that much anyway. "Save it" :roll: :roll:

Not when you have a kid on the way. I mean Jordans? Really?

[red1]

Jordans? Jordans? Are you ****ing serious with this shit do I need to hop on a plane just to bust you in your f*cking mouth for you to realize that you have a kid on the way!!~!??!?!?!?!! Jordans?

[Shabba Ranks]

Ill shit on your chest for 5 hundie

[red1]

This is not the way I raised you!!! Do you think I fought in 12 wars and swam across 12 oceans just so you could buy f*cking jordans? Jordans? F*cking piece of shit

[BLAM I AM]

Not when you have a kid on the way. I mean Jordans? Really?
Im thinking the 2 k is extra money so why not spend it on some things youw ouldnt normally be able to get....seems foolish for most of us but i dont see the big deal

[Meticode]

If I had two grant to spend...

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 (http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50-Professional-Monitor-Headphones/dp/B000ULAP4U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1391471496&sr=8-2&keywords=audio+technica+ath-m50)

JayBird BlueBuds X (http://www.amazon.com/JayBird-BlueBuds-Sport-Bluetooth-Headphones/dp/B00AIRUOI8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1391471543&sr=8-2&keywords=jaybird+bluebuds+x)

And try to save at least $1000 of it or around that. You'll need these anyway to drown out the kid's crying some nights.

[Bandito]

put it in a savings account and save it until you need it.

[GASOL IS GOAT]

Don't listen to these idiots, putting your money in the bank is about the worst thing you can do. America's economy is on the verge of collapse, your money will be worthless soon if I were you, I'd buy some gold. That's what I'm doing.

[IGOTGAME]

Just put it in he bank or invest it.

[CelticBaller]

don't listen to them boy, buy them jordans

[GASOL IS GOAT]

Invest in what? 2k ain't getting you very far.

Just buy some gold, then use that gold to buy more gold since gold's value is increasing.

dude in my broke days i invested 2k in a little fleamarket booth and got 5K out of the deal in 6 months, wtf are you talking about ?

[Maniak]

:oldlol:

i dont know your financial situation. people in this thread are acting like you're on food stamps. that being said even if u feel comfortable u should only spend half at the most. never know what will happen and spending your money on super material shit like that could very well bite you in the ass.

[GASOL IS GOAT]

Buying gold is the safer route.

[Maniak]

alternatively u could go to vegas.

this
only poor ass nikkas complain about spending $$$ on sneakers. if he wants them then he should get them

[Shabba Ranks]

I see it as negative-yield investment

You don't know what you're talking about. shush

Maybe you know something i dont know :confusedshrug:

[Stuckey]

Why are ppl here assuming I live check to check?

My family has enough assets.

I just want to blow some spare change

And I don't see the benefit of spoiling my kids by paying their uni tuitions. They can get loans like I did

[russwest0]

What? A surplus of cash that you don't NEED? Invest it.

[Wally450]

Nut on the money and put the pic of it on 4chan.

If you aren't living check to check then 2k is no big deal. If you wanted to buy something like that then you'd just dip into discretionary income.

you really dont see how this comes off as extremely childish. Just won some money, let me me buy a phone and some Jordans...wait like me get some music equipment too! You sound like a child.

[rufuspaul]

Do you really need all that or do you want it.

Personally if I was in your shoes and won 2k I'd take myself and the misses on holiday for a few weeks. Pick a country you've always wanted to visit and go there.


Airfare, accommodations, food and spending money for a few weeks? Maybe in Bangladesh.

[Bandito]

Buying gold is the safer route.
It is the most expensive route for sure. GOld is freaking expensive.

[mr.big35]

Just do whatever with your money dont listen to these financial advisers in ISH

[DukeDelonte13]

buy some savings bonds for your kid or open up one of those college savings accounts. do the right thing.

[Bcogswell]

I wouldnt be wasting it on that crap, but thats just me.

[Bush4Ever]

How the hell can anyone answer that question without knowing you, your preferences, your situation, etc...?

[boozehound]

why would you buy all that junk? Either use it to buy something you and your wife both want for the house or invest it.

[boozehound]

Airfare, accommodations, food and spending money for a few weeks? Maybe in Bangladesh.
not everybody takes vacations like you.

[CelticBaller]

ISH, where everybody lives on welfare

[Jailblazers7]

I would probably buy a decent suit and get it tailored if I landed an extra $2k out of nowhere but I don't have a wife and kid lol. I would probably just squirrel that away in my savings account until I thought of something with the $2k if I were you. No need to splurge as random shit like Jordan's and Bose sound equipment. But then again, not my money.

[PHX_Phan]

I'd probably splurge on one of those things and save the rest. I won 13k last year, splurged a grand of it in a week on some clothes and a couple nights in a resort for me and my girl. Saved/invested the rest. No kids.

I just end up feeling bad if I come up a chunk of money and blow it all on dumb shit.

[KeylessEntry]

you are only planning to buy two pairs of jordans? how beta

[LeGOAT]

I don't know your financial situation, but I think the smart thing to do is save it considering you just said your having a kid

[Stuckey]

I've decided to not get the Jordans, I do feel somewhat guilty and stupid buying shoes that cost that much

probably get another pair of free runs cause they are the most comfy shoes I"ve ever worn

then take the rest to the craps table

my future kids will be taken care of
