Just came into alittle money and would like to buy a big ticket item but I'm just out of ideas. The last time I spent more than 300$ was on my computer which I bought about 2 years ago.

I'm looking for something cool, be it electronic, clothing, or even a great piece of furniture or watch.

What is your financial situation besides the 1000 you got? I find that more interesting than how you could spend 1000. If you are very financially secure and, due to the nature of how you acquired this grand, decided to spend it all on something immediately, that's cool. However, if you are not financially secure, then I wouldn't understand wanting to blow the money for the sake of it...

Expensive wine and food for you and your family/friends

Don't waste money on consumer goods that go out of favor. Great time with people that love you is the best investment.

Why are you so eager to be broke? Wait till there is something you want and be glad you have the money for it, or trickle it slowly on eating better food or being able to go out more often over the course of the next few months.

I would honestly probably save it. Right at this second I can't think of anything I would like to buy, let alone that costs 1000 dollars xD.
When I think of something else, something will go here

If you don't need anything immediately and your bank account isn't padded (i.e. you don't already have at least $1000) you should definitely save the money. When you really want something that big later on you'll thank yourself for the foresight.

If you need it, then save it. If you don't, it seems like you wouldn't be any worse off donating it. I don't know if it was kind of like money falling from the sky or something, but personally in those circumstances I find it much easier to give away. Easy come, easy go.

BooksBooksBooksBooksBooksBooksBooksBooksBooksBooksBooksBooksBooks. Not a big ticket item by itself but for a thousand bucks you can get a ton of them which will look impressive on your new shelves and make you appear smart. And you can actually read them if you want to (not obligatory).

A mutual fund.

Money is a weird thing. I recently took a trip to Italy and while I shelled out a bit of money I later realized that that money would have eventually been frittered away. So I could have gone on a wonderful trip or gone to whataburger 100 times.
I'm not stupid, a marauder just shot my brain.

I would definitely get myself an automatic Mahjong table. Still can't get it out of my mind even when I haven't decided to spend a lot of money on a luxury item... I don't even know a lot of people to play with, but who cares!

Maybe you could get me such a table. Two problems solved at once: You get rid of that money, I get my table.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

yes I love their clothes the most. Arman is a close 2nd because they make good clothes with top notch quality materials but that makes them expensive as fk and really hard to find on sale too because everyone picks em up already

ikr

I would make my monthly payments on my apartment, car loan, and student loan. Being an adult is BORING.

Then I'd be pleased when I don't have to spend a chunk paycheck on it, and put the saved paycheck money into my life savings. Money FOOOOR THE FUUUUUUUUTURE

Seriously, why do you need to spend the $1k now? Go open a bank account or something. If you're going to spend it on something, make it on something meaningful that will last years, like spending part of it on a new computer if your current one is really showing its age.

Save bro. I bought a tablet last week and kinda regretting my purchase (even though I had money to spend/predicted stable income in 2 years). Doesn't matter how much money you have, don't spend it for the sake of spending. Save up for a house, a car that you always wanted. The big things in life

If I had an additional $1,000... I'd either save it towards vacation to Korea (My wife's country) or put it into investments. I already have everything I would need.

Mutual funds are auto pilot...

If you know what you're doing, I'd put them in GOOD (keyword) dividend stocks that will benefit you long term. That way you don't have to suffer from ridiculous .50 - 1% expense ratios.
