    NO!!!!!!! Put is somewhere that it earns a good amount of interest and let it work for you.
    :D Make a list of important things to do today. At the top, put 'eat chocolate'. Now, you'll get at least one thing done today. :D

    Hmmmm....I believe you should opt for investing them in a business that might sound fruitful and can be hopeful of giving you sound returns... :)
