Ask HN: What is the best way to use $200 to improve your life/career

On $200, go on a weekend camping trip someplace within a reasonable drive. Have a decent bottle of champagne, watch the sunset.
- Can_Not 9y agoEach of these have great options up to and under $200: an ebook reader with technical ebooks, a certification, a quieter CPU fan (I'm about to spend $10 on one, current is jet engine), more RAM, an SSD, second monitor, webhosting/VPS ($200 can cover a domain, a shared cpanel, and a VPS) for personal projects, a netbook or tablet.
