I am going to be getting a $2500 stipend from my university. What would you guys do with that? I'm thinking about giving like 500 to my brother, buying my mom something, and buying a solid state drive for my computer. What would you guys suggest I do with that money? Spend half and save the rest? I'm afraid if I don't spend the money on something worthwhile, I'll waste it on sushi or something (happened last semester lol).

I was thinking about perhaps tinting the wiindows of my car or something. Maybe get rims for it.

I get a stipend like that from my university. I would hold on to it. You will probably need it throughout the year for things like a doctor's visit/medication/travel/groceries/textbooks. If you really want that SSD, get it, but don't blow the rest. I also work a job during the school year, but that is not enough to cover big surprise expenses.

Of course, some people have a hard time holding on to money and be disciplined about how they spend it over time. If you know you will only waste it on sushi if you save it, decide which big expenses you have been looking at are legit needs or serious wants (not just a whim), and spend it now.

Do what you stated you wanted to do, and put everything else in the bank. You'll thank yourself later on.

AHHAAHHA!! brilliant

To OP: I like how you're giving money to your bro and mom, very cool thing to do. As for the money left over, why not save it? Just because you have money doesn't mean you have to spend it, saving it for a rainy day is always a good thing, trust me on that

If I was in your situation, I'd definitely pay off some student loans and then use whatever money left over (in my case none), and buy some audio equipment. Probably a stage piano and a synthesizer, but thats just me. Realistically, I would save the money by putting it in a CD.
