Because I think I’ll get tired after 7 or 8 and also the does will get angry.
Sorry… preemptive joke to save others the effort.
Ok, I recently had a birthday and got a check from my mom for $300. She specifically said to spend it on something fun for me. I’m not rich, but I’m not poor either, and I have everything I need (and a lot of things I don’t need). I have a Mustang that I like to dump money into, and I also like food and kitchen gadgets. My general rule is that if it has a cord or uses batteries I will like it.
So if you had $300 to just blow on yourself what would it be? Unfortunately Amazon doesn’t have a “I want to spend $300” button.
I might look for a work of art. I’m not a collector, but I do appreciate talented artists - maybe a painting or a small sculpture. I think it would be fun to shop for a perfect piece.
How about a telescope? Cloudy nights dot com would be your friend here. Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars are up right now (you won’t see much with Mars though). Summer Milkyway is favorably placed at this time.
Be smart buying a used 300 dollar telescope and you can easily get your money back at some point or even make a nice profit.
Also, 300 dollars should get you one hooker and a couple of blows…or a couple of blows and one hooker. You local costs of living may vary.
To unashamedly borrow from the late George Carlin, spend it all on pussy and beer (even better if you’re a woman).
Seriously, books, maybe a subscription to a magazine or membership in a group you’ve been interested in, lots of good possibilities (some being mentioned above).
My wife and I sometimes book a suite at a nice hotel. There’s one that has rooms overlooking the Arkansas River. Very nice outside sitting on the balcony. Getting away even for a night definitely spices up our marriage.
That’s about $250 with room service. No travel expense because it’s only 10 miles from our house.
There are So many tools that would work in his basement! A drill press… a bench-mounted radial saw… a bench grinder… or a truly high-quality angle grinder.
Someday he can and will use each and every one of them for repairs and projects. Quality tools (if not abused) will last almost forever.
If I walk into the bar I hang out at and the place is dead, I always buy a round for the two or three of us there.
It’s an inside joke. The bartenders later, when the place is packed, tell people, “shoulda been here a bit ago, kayaker walked in and bought a round for the house!”
On topic:
$300 will buy an ounce of some pretty decent weed.
