O.K. the first part of your question says 100, but the second part says 1000. So for the first part, there are a lot of things.
Shoes
Jeans
Hair cut,color, and style
etc.
For the second part, all the above, plus
a cheap used vehicle
a scooter
a dirt bike
etc..
Hope this gives you some idea.

FOB

Do you mean a hundred dollars (like your question's headline says) or one thousand dollars (like the body of your question says)? There's a big difference.

$100 will get you a nice steak dinner, or a week's worth of groceries. You can fill up a mid size car and an SUV for $100. You can go to McDonald's and get 100 double cheese burgers for $100 (but I don't know why you'd want to)

For $1,000 you can get 3 iPhones or like a 42 inch Plasma TV. $1,000 will cover about 1/10th the price of a new Yamaha R6 motorcycle.

$100 dollars will buy you 1/2 hour with the girl of your choice at a Nevada brothel.

Though 100 bucks sounds like chump change to some,it would be possible to use this amount to buy some groceries,clothes or a basic night out.So with a little planning you could take a date to a movie and a inexpensive dinner.

depends on what your looking to buy, as a teenager 100 dollars means either clothes or food or both

Yes, this is a very interesting question.
1) OK, so you have a $100 stake. That means you have $100 to spend. If you are wise, then you can invest it in such a way to make a profit. That initial $100 can turn into thousands of dollars, if your timing is good, and your choices are wise.

Here are a few examples of what you can do with $100.

a) Print 250 business cards at vistaprint.com,
buy a squeegee handle, 12" channel, 18" channel, extra squeegee rubbers, wand, sponge, and extension pole for window cleaning. Cost: Approx. $100.

b) Pass out business cards to likely prospects. Cost: free (your time).

c) When the new clients call, schedule window cleaning jobs at $60.00 to $100.00 per hour, depending on what part of the US you live in.

d) After one day, make a gross income of $480 to $800, depending on the price you quote. It will depend on a number of factors, including what the market will bear, of course. You can learn on the job.

e) After one year, your initial $100 investment plus your labor should pay off in at least a minimum gross income of $100,000 (1,000 to one return on investment - ROI).

f) instead of investing in the business named above, you go to the nearest casino, and invest your $100 into a high stakes $100 dollar bill slot machine. The result (in about one to three seconds) will be either: $0 (LOST IT ALL), or a profit of say $3,000 to perhaps the jackpot of $100,000 (1,000 to one return on investment - ROI).

h) go to the nearest casino, and play cheaper slot machines, or play card games, or craps. Either way, you will know the result of your gamble within an hour or so.

$1,000 stake.

OK, let's say you have $1000 to spend.

WIth the first example of starting a business, you have the advantage of advertising. It will jump start your business, and you will make a higher profit immediately.

With the second example of gambling, you could lose it all, in about 8 to 10 hours, or you could weather a few ups and downs, and end up with the jackpot.

Or, you could invest it in a totally different way, or spend it on necessities, or on friends (this is quite another interesting topic!), or you could blow it on luxuries, travel, many things.

With $1000, you definitely have more options!
