It feels so weird not wearing one lol. I also have some interest in Rolex. I don't have any need whatsoever for $2,000 and my jewelry stock is hella low. I'd figure I buy something for $2,000. I'm leaning towards buying a Rolex and then a cheap $200 necklace, but I'm also leaning toward buying a $2,000 chain and using my current watch. My question is, what do you recommend, and does Rolex keep its value?

Seriously, you're thinking of blowing $2K on some bauble? I guess you don't need the small boost to your retirement account. What about a vacation? Fly to Taiwan or Costa Rica, and have a blast! Or go on a Canadian sailing cruise up the Inside Passage to Alaska, and have money left over.

I think you should take all of it (the $15K AND the $2K) and bet it on a single spin of the roulette.

Then you'll have a far more interesting thread about which to post.

If the OP is having difficulty deciding what to do with an extra $2,000, he/she can donate to my charity; a cashier's check will do nicely.

S&P 500 index fund. Even if it goes down 35%, that is less than the depreciation of either of the silly items proposed.

I did my income tax last weekend and got to thinking about this old thread.

I wonder what the OP eventually decided to blow all that money on. Hopefully he put it into savings.
