#5If you don't have any specific needs, are you sure it's worth spending that money on electronics?
Personally I hate the remorse that comes every few months when I go through a drawer and discover a barely used iPod touch or other device that I once thought might improve my life, but didn't.

#6Save it for when you need it. Donate it to Watsi. Whatever you feel like but don't buy crap you apparently don't need.

If you find yourself running out of battery power, an extra powerpack can come in handy. I ordered one earlier from newtrent.com this year and use it a lot more than I thought I would. Lots more other manufacturers too if you do a quick search.

You're fine. If you MUST spend that money, put it towards DOING something rather than acquiring a thing. Maybe put it towards night school, or online courses. Or, craziest of crazy ideas, sock it away in the bank or your sock drawer.
