    You probably already know this but if you save HSBC has the best APY for a savings account @ 5.05. Or treat yourself to the latest HD flatscreen, however the later produces no yeilds, lmao.

    Oh Snap! I totally forgot about getting a 46" XBR2 LCD flatscreen! that would be nice! Great suggestion!

    I should say, that this is money that I didn't expect to have, so it doesn't affect my regular savings plans and budgeting...

    I say invest some, donate some, and enjoy some now. If it were me it would be more of the former two and less of the latter.
