What to do with my $300?

November 7th, 2010 at 11:50 pm

You may have read about the $300 I won at work a week or two ago. I have been thinking hard on what to use it on. I had already decided I am NOT saving it, I am NOT using it for the mortgage, and I am NOT gonna blow it at the casino. I want to buy something for myself, something fun. I decided to use $25 of it to install cable in our bedroom. I have been wanting to do that since we bought our house 3 years ago. So that leaves $275 to spend. I am thinking about getting a gaming system that would be nice for the long winters here and something fun that I would not normally spend the money on for myself. I am leaning towards a Wii, but also thinking about a Play Station 3. We already have a PS2, so mainly thinking the Wii. If you have a Wii, are you happy with it? Is it worth the cost? Any other suggestions for non Wii items would also be appreciated. Thanks!

    DH has a PS3 and he loves it. We also have a Wii but it's hardly ever used, although a Wii is good if you get the Wii Fit.

    We use our Wii all the time. We bought it used, so it was definitely worth the cost. (I don't believe any of those game systems are worth the cost brand new!).

    Personally, if it were me, I would get a DS. IT depends I suppose, but my family has got me addicted to Picross on the DS. The plus? I can take it anywhere. The Wii - will usually play games with the kids. I am just not a "sit down and play games," type, but love to have the option when sitting around waiting (I have had a lot of Doctor appointments and delayed flights, recently).
