Best use of $2000

Buying a computer is about the worst investment on earth. They have worse depreciation than nearly everything. You could almost do better by buying bags of ice and leaving them outside. (Almost.)

not unless you buy them from the dell outlet ULTRA cheap. turn around and sell it later and make a profit off that investment. but since you are talking about apple, then yes it's a poor investment as they are too expensive in the first place haha

go here, www.ameritrade.com and open a roth IRA and put it in. im investing everything I make this summer, so i can buy a nice mac with some of it in august after wwdc, thats when ill be needing a new machine

You do know that there are early withdrawl penalities for Roth IRAs right? So unless you plan on paying taxes and a 10% penalty on your IRA earnings or buying that iMac around age 59, I wouldnt suggest putting your money in an IRA. You could always just take out your contributions to the account to avoid the penalty, but then there really wouldnt have been a point to putting the money into the IRA anyway because that interest wouldnt be spendable without the penalty.

O.K. we haven't heard another peep out of the thread's author, so I guess
someone overheard him mention that he had $2000 and they kidnapped him.
