    Put in the bank for now. Then when you actually do want to buy something, it'll be there with interest. I'd be saving up for a car if I were you though.

    Definetly bank it. When the time comes around for college, you'll wish you handn't spent it on those computer parts that will then complete crap. I'd keep putting money into a savings account and once you get accepted to a college, blow it all on a car or very expensive laptop. Oh...and telling your parents you want to save the money WILL earn you some brownie points

    yea like other people have said...save it. You don't have to spend money once you get it, saving is good. Listen to Findels, save up for a car you will be happy you did.

    I would say, if you need a printer, get a printer. Just buy things that you need, not what you want and say the rest. This way you get a few new toys and yet still save money and look good for the parents. Trust me, I have learned this. Snice getting my job Last year.

    $1300 on a car?

    But by all means save it.

    Or buy something that will not drop in value (therefore, excluding almost all computer parts).

    Or invest it in.. say... ATI.

    $1300 as a start or added to any other money he saves for a car is great. He's only 14 there are still a couple years to save.

    Or perhaps $50 on a Ti4200 and $1300 on mods to make it perform faster then a Ti4600! It'd be crazy.
