$900 in puzzles!?!?

[number1failure]

Last year, we were short on money around my birthday AND Christmas so me my bro and sis didn't get much. My mom did happen to say though that she would get us our birthday and x-mas stuff on our next birthday if she had more money. Now, we DO have plenty more money and I'm going to get 2 B-Days worth of stuff and an X-Mas. Each b-day and x-mas she get us each around $300 of stuff. Also, as I got older, she started to let me pick out some of my own stuff, rather than it being a surprise. At this point she is now letting me choose ALL the stuff that I get. There is no way that I will be able to resist using all, if not most, of it on twisty puzzles. I'm so effin happy.

Cool story bro.

Sucks for me because my birthday and christmas both get mixed together. My birthday is only 4 days after christmas.

Some people are like:
"Pfft, I could pull nine hundered bucks outta my @$$ if I wanted to, That aint nuthin"

but considering that most puzzles are around 10-20 bucks, with more complex ones still not that much, this could get me a ton of new puzzles

Lucky guy. I wish I had 20 dollars to spend on puzzles right now, let alone 900.

LOL

 

[hawkmp4]

Yeah, really, I'd could use $900 right now...pay off interest on my loans...
Count your blessings, man...and not publicly...

Dude you should probably save half of it... For like a car or something... If not over half...

I see purpose in spending, say, $100 on cubes, but $900 is just a little ridiculous...

? College? ^ The Future? Don' t be a waste. or.... OPEN UP A STORE

I'm gonna enjoy being a kid while I can. When I get a job I'll start saving for college.

Also the reason I wish to spend $900 on cubes, is because I want to get an 11x11x11, which is over $100 itself. And I want the V-cube collection, as I only have about 5 regular XbyXbyX Cubes. Plus every time I get on sites like PopBuying and DealExtreme, I see all of those knockoff cubes that look so amazing and only cost around $5 each. Also, the kilo, mega, giga, and teraminxes.

I don't think you should spend all of it on puzzles. If I were you I would only buy a few cubes and save the rest. Is cubing your only hobby? You could buy things like gaimz or a computer or an ipod or .....bananas?

I like the idea....

Any game I want I download an Emulator and Rom for. Computer-have one. Ipod-costs money for music, and I already have my phone and a BlueTooth headset. So I'm good on music.



And remember people, I'm only 14. I'm years away from college. The $900 should cover my cube craving, so in about a year, when I get a job, I'll use that money for college.

Yeah, seriously... At one point there should be a ticker in your head that renders that pointless. An 11x11 is cool, but think about it: how many times would you really solve it? It takes forever to solve, and I truely wouldn't enjoy solving it... But think of it this way: a Rubik's cube will last you a few years, and so will a car. But you can get places and pick up chicks with a car...

charity. ?

 

[partylikeaturtle]

If you don't want to get a car, you could buy me some cubes.

 

[Samania]

You can pick up chicks with a cube.

 

[TheMachanga]

That's just wrong if you spend it all on cubes, even WE don't think that's right. I've tried the 11x11, It was boring, hard to handle and turn, that's how the teraminx is too, just wastes of money.

Good point. But as I said before, I won't even be able to use a car for a few years, so I'll wait until I get a Steady source of income before I go for that.

charity. ?

I'm FOR charity and all, but it's not really my thing.

 

[partylikeaturtle]

That's true, but I would find a nice car more effective.
