    $2900

    I would take $500 out for yourself and go buy something that is going to make you happy. Maybe a New surround sound, TV, PS3, Clothes, take your woman out for dinner, whatever.

    The rest i would use to

    A) Pay off any Credit Card Debt you have (the faster you pay things off that have interest the more money you save )
    B) Pay off any Car loans you may have
    C) Save $1000 of it for emergency reasons

    why DONT you have a credit card?

    If you dont have one , i would go to your bank and open up a secured card with $500 and start building your credit.

    $2900

    1) Take $500 to go blow on something, you deserve it
    2) Take $500 and open a secured credit card
    3) Take $1900 and stick it in the bank and wait to use it.

    PS
    the two retarded things you could do with it would be to make your car "clean" and to use it to put yourself $10,000+ more in debt by buying a new car.

    LMFAO @ making your Integra "clean" or buying a "new car." Too bad not everyone thinks like that our economy might be stronger.

    Really though, SAVE IT. Act like you didn't get it and put it in savings.

    buy a bunch of drugs, then flip it, double your money, hahaha I kid I kid. Actually like Vteckidd. Buy something nice for yourself, then put the rest away in savings. Or do some investing. The market is down right now, so it is actually a time to buy.

    Wise words there.

    Imagine people who get paychecks for $10,000+ or even salaries or $200,000 per year. Even millionares....they don't splooge their earnings (usually). They have structured financial planning.

    Keep in mind the average lotto winner usually go bankrupt within the next 5 years of their total lump sum winnings. If you come into a quick large some of money (large being relative as to what that person is used to making on average) It's best to ignore any spending options but rather look into investing in something where you can make your money back or ignore it and save as the person I quoted stated.

    How do you think they get to that level of handling 100k+ Salaries? Financial discipline.

    Just put like $100 to the side and think of it as some good gas money to cruise around with your friends or get some beer and relax. Low cost and saving the rest responsibly for a true time of need is my .02

    really isnt anything right now , Car markets have all pretty much tanked, stock market is good but you would have to do about 4 months of research to get in it now, and with $2900 making big bucks isnt going to happen.

    Give it to me and in return you will have a warm feeling in your heart.

    How can you really put a price on that? It's priceless.

    I would take a small portion of it, spend it on what ever. Then the rest I would put it into a savings account, like someone said above.
