Roulette is the only true way to gamble.

Take your mom and brother out to a nice sushi dinner, and save the rest.

Because he mentioned getting sushi in the OP, and a sushi dinner sounds like a fair reward for oneself.

That being said. SAVE IT. (Unless you have credit card debt, pay that asap). Do you have student loans? You'll need the money in the future. Even if you don't have loans, an extra two grand cash you ahve towards a car or house purchase is significant.

Don't put it in a bank, you get shit for interest.

Open up a Roth IRA account with a brokerage and then invest it into bonds at the very least, which are small next-to-guaranteed percentage income thats higher than any bank will ever give, maybe 3% or so. Or you can find ETF's which grow at a steady rate, much higher than bonds, and you can just invest it into the stock and leave it there, or go ballsier and invest it into a growing company which can net you 30-100% gain in a year.

An account like an IRA account, you can't just withdraw the money whenever though, its like a retirement fund of sorts, but there are ways you can take the money out, ie: to pay off student loan debt, among a few other reasons (you can google "How to withdraw from Roth account without penalty") but you can really make a lot of money doing this, isntead of having it sit in a bank with no interest gain whatsoever.

1. Pay off loans or debt with interest.
2. Save it for a down payment towards your new home (20% recommended).
3. If you own a house, buy these stocks as of today 5/17/2011: VNDA, MAS, and/or KBH watch money grow.

Don't give money to your brother, why would you do that!

Buy a SSD and save the rest. Maybe buy a little something for your mother. You don't make enough money to spoil your family yet!

Agreed, the half second you save booting up SC2 won't matter, plus prices for hardware like SSD's will come crashing down in the coming months or years.

How did you manage to spend anywhere on the order of $2500 on Sushi? I know the servings for sushi are small and expensive, but that should only be $10 a meal. Then if you eat two meals a day, for 5 days a week, that's 100$ a week. You would have to eat sushi five meals a week, twice a day, for 25 weeks!

(Just don't do anything stupid with it, spending some money on sushi once in a while isn't as big a deal as blowing it all on a big screen TV).
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.
