Frankly, I don't understand the purpose of your thread. Do you want advice, gather some opinions?

I've got the same combination (iPhone, MBP) and the iPad is in use for like 12 hours a day

Simple.

You already wasted your money on overpriced gadgets; iPhone and MacBook.

Time for one more.

That's what I did.

your money? you mean your parent's money?

If you can tell me how I will use it.

I already have an iPhone and a MacBook Pro.

I also have an iPhone and a MacBook pro, and they are getting dusty since I have the iPad!

Ah, thank you for the correction. Well I did buy my MacBook with my own money... Regardless.

He said that money is not an issue, 'brah'. So he must have a lot of money to spend from working as a cast member of Jersey Shore.

Phrasing aside, you ask a legitimate question, and one I've tried very hard to form my answer to. The truth is that there is nothing functionally new about the iPad, and yet everything you do on it is different. My own MBP and iPhone get next to no use in the house since the iPad arrived. I remember the feeling I had waking up and realizing with a smile that I had a brand new Apple IIC waiting for me in the next room. The iPad is like that--such a visceral pleasure to use. And every new iPad-specific app is a revelation. Stupid pedestrian apps like StockWatch, The Weather Channel, Calendar, Contacts, and ABC.com just seem revolutionary. They really aren't though, and if you have an iPhone and a MBP, you won't be be able to accomplish one more material thing if you buy an iPad---you'll just be really happier doing the same thing.

But maybe you're not like me. Somebody gave advice here I'd second: go to the Apple Store and play with one for awhile. The iPad will tell you if you ought to buy it.
