What Can You Do With $100?

Posted by Cliff on from the frugal-hacking dept.

An anonymous reader asks "I was recently gifted with $100 and thought, 'What's the coolest geektoy--new, used, cobbled together, hacked--that one hundred clams could buy?' Home automation? Older PDA streaming client? Bathtub ROV? Basic stamp robotic kit? Something fun, something useful, something educational, something that says 'Look what I put together for $100.' Lemme know!"

    buy $100 worth of krispy kreme donuts.
    the stock, not the food.
    then next year it will be worth at least as much as the donuts that you could have bought.

    Avoid knee-jerk consumerism and put it in savings. You might need it someday.

    Also, stock market != savings account...
