    Alright so i got a little bit of money left over from christmas and when i say a little i mean a 100 dollars. I have no clue what to get i dont really need anything for my bow or hunting stuff right now. So im just looking for maybe something cool, useful, or just fun to have. Yeah i could save it but thats no fun. :lol: Feel free to throw any ideas out there. :tu:

    Im now looking for some ideas for boots. I want a decent pair. Im wanting to get brown pull on boots. if you have any ideas of brands or a specific boot let me know. Thanks.

    save it. You might not need anything now but with hunting... sooner then later... you will need something.

    A $100 bill is really not something you should worry about. It's a couple tanks of gas. If you're worried about how to spend hundred dollars.... you should be mor worried about where it should best be spent... and rally not spent right now. My advice.... don't spend it. See how long you can leave it in a savings account. Make it like lost money.... you don't have it anymore. See if you can give this lost money a neighbor every month. Put in a few more dollars if you have them. Hell, before you know it.... you'll have a lot of money in the bank. When you retire.... you won't have to worry about money to live your lifestyle. However,.... if you're a fool who likes to live beyond his means.... well you are going to be singing "Woe is me:". Just something to think about. $100 dollars here... a $100 there can really add up. A $100 taken out of a paycheck to be put into something like a 401K or company matching stocks doesn't hurt when you do it. It hurts 20 years later when you didn't do it. Just because you have an extra $100 doesn't mean... you have to spend it...It means you should save it in some form... and not for short term. If you get past the first month... and you should try ..... you'll never miss is. Take my son... he has always taken advantage of stock options and company matching 401s to the max. He makes a lot of money... and saves a ton. He will not want when he's done. He tells me .... DAD, I don't need your money... spend it.. So that.s what I've started to do. I'm going to ride hard to the end of the journey... but I don't think I'll spend it all.

    I actually realized something i could use. A nice pair of boots to wear on a regular basis. What are some good boot companies. Im looking for pull on boots too if you guys recommend any pair.

    Not really needed since i dont own a gun.

    I could do that but i think could really use a decent pair of boots. Instead of me wearing my hunting boots around.

    If you desire to use it for hunting I'd put it towards a new covert after adding like $20-40 to it in the coming weeks.

    If you are dating/married yeah Hooker's got a good idea.

    The boots are a good investment as well.

    Not sure what kinda slip on boots you're into, but if you do the western thing I'm a big fan of ariat, Justin, and luchesse boots.
