So I have $150 and have no clue what to do, I don't keep much money in the bank so if I do choose to save it, it is just going to be hidden in my room for emergencies. Should I get a New headset and soundcard? always wanted a wireless headset absolutely freaking HATE wires on my turtle beaches.

Don't get a soundcard and you probably won't get a decent pair of headphones that are wireless with $150.

Stash it in a shoebox, forget about it and then stumble upon it when you actually need the cash,

Bank it. Don't squander your money.

Don't like the ideas of banks, yes I am one of those guys.

I'd save it for something more expensive or more important.

The act of banking doesn't involve a bank…
