The title of this thread immidiately caught my eye. To find out that the money wasn't available to the general public was dissapointing. Because of my dissapointment, I suggest that you buy the 2¢ I currently hold in my hand; its current value is $400. I am telling you, this deal can't be topped!

[BTW.] This is my attempt at babble...

I'd go on a trip.

But, if you can't think of anything to do with it, you may as well save it and then you'll still have lots of money when you do find something you want.

$400 really isn't that much. I just got a $350 check and what did I do? I chucked it into my savings account for future purchase of a 1968 El Camino. Savings add quickly; I had nothing mere months ago. Now I have over four grand. Just sitting around, earning money all by itself. It's a good plan. By the way, ING Direct has the best interest rate of any savings account around. These things help.

Save it to buy a car or fix/mod/upgrade the car you have.

If you have to spend it NOW, get into the hobby of radio control (RC) cars. That's enough to get a nice setup.

Invest it and hope it doesn't turn out to be WorldCom, Enron, or K-MART.

In all seriousness though, investing it in stocks is pretty good, if you know what you're doing.
