    Your going to America in August... you have everything you need already and you can't bring it all with you so dammit, keep it for America... don't spend it unless you need to and it might just get you out of a sticky situation when your over there.

    How do you mean, you saying nobody is going to get you any presents for Christmas at all? Just because you got a Christmas present of €500, doesnt mean it has to be spend AT Christmas.

    you see the thing is my parents asked myself and my 3 brothers what we want for xmas.
    they wrote out a small list and parents buy random things off it for them.
    i couldn't think of anything, so they gave me the equviliant of what they got, and i buy my own this year.
    but i dont know what to get.

    and since i cant think of any item to buy, i said i might do something like skydiving, or rally drive or something.

    Clearly you can. You're someone who can't spend your money.

    Well then the sky dive is probably the best idea yet. I'm hoping to do my first jump in January. Once you do a solo jump first time each time after that is much cheaper.

    I've looked into this and I would recommend a tandem if you just want to do a once off sky dive but a solo if you plan on doing it more then once.

    Convert it all into fivers, hop into your best suit and then walk around town stopping at non-national beggers to go "look at all this money here! Guess what, I don't even NEED it. Plus I have two legs."

    What about saving a few quid?
    Just jump of a building,you could give the rest of the money to charity.

    Base jumping is probably just as expensive of sky diving and I don't know of anywhere to do it in Ireland.
