Spend the money on experiences! Travel, go to shows, hit the road... $600 is worthless in and of itself.

  Meh, you can enjoy things. If anything, i dislike travel. I like my guitar, i heavily enjoy playing it, and frankly i do need a new Amp. Though i think this is a great example of how mentally, how it's working for me. I actually need an Amp, but by saving the money ahead of time, suddenly i get a chance to mentually "unspend it".. it's bizarre, but it's how i feel. I literally have $600 sitting in my account right now that i'm having a hard time spending, because it's more real than the Amp. Quite interesting.

  For a lot of Americans, $600 is life-changing.

    Of course when you spend it, it is valuable. But OP had mentioned enjoying the feeling of simply collecting the money, a notion which I can't help but challenge.

      Assuming the OP you're referring to is me, i may have mislead you a bit. It's not joy in saving money exactly, but building good habits/etc. I've got a lot to save up for, retirement, investments, dental work, etcetc. So it's not that i enjoy the dollars exactly, but i want to have security in finance, for the long and short term. Building good habits is really crucial to being happy there, imo.
