450 dollars to spend, what should I spend it on

I received $450 from family and relatives for my birthday. I don't have any idea how I will spend it. I have lots of money saved up over time, but I'm always reluctant to spend it. The only thing I can think of now is tennis equipment and clothes. Any interesting and useful things besides a phone that I can get with $450?

I'm a 17 year old guy, a senior in high school if that helps.

Seriously save the money? It could come in handy for college...say you need a printer, some clothes, emergency money, towards a decent computer, furnishing your dorm, etc. Couldn't hurt to save it, and once you settle into college and you don't need it, reward yourself with something.

[quote=xxArchael]Actually if you like watching Anime, I would actually buy a pair of Beats or some other crazy good sound-quality Headphones. They actually really make a difference when watching an anime or listening to a movie. Plus, they are kinda becoming a fashion? Well.. Wearing them around your neck is kinda what people at my school are doing.

OT: What's your favorite anime? [/quote]

Hard to decide what is my favorite, since I watch different genres. Eyeshield 21 is my favorite sports anime, Toradora, Angel Beats, or Hanasaku Iroha are my favorite romance/slice of life animes.

I have some money set aside for college already, but yeah, if this money isn't used, than this will be used toward expenses when I'm in college.
Gunpla, haha I like anime but I don't want to spend money on those.

Oh and I won't spend it towards games, the only games I usually play are online mmo or multiplayer games that I already own ;o

But seriously thought, I'd recommend you save it for college/university funds. That's just me, do whatever you want with it.[/quote]

Interest rates are so low you'd be losing money because of inflation

Save a few hundred more for a laptop when you enter college.

I have more money saved up, so I was thinking of spending some of it eventually. My hobbies are mainly tennis, billiards, games, anime, manga, listening to music, etc. Not many things I can buy for those though ;o

if you really can't decide, you could always save it.

Knowing your interests/age bracket would also help.
