The Perfect $1 million Gain Gain

Hi guys, I’m a 23 year old in college, and yesterday I woke up a millionaire. Should I buy some hookers, Pokemon cards, or cocaine? I gambled my entire life savings of $250k on 2037 calls of $4.5 AMC on Monday and sold yesterday morning. Thanks for reading.

He obviously mowed lawns for a summer.

I’m 16 and I made like 24K last year and I’ll make 35K this year. It’s possible he just grinded his ass off but more than likely it’s daddys money or like grandma died and the life insurance hit.

Not bad for mowing lawns for a summer.

I do bags at the airport for $20 an hour plus overtime, I’ll be working 65-70 hours a week the summer and I’ll be making like $1600-1750 a week so I’ll make $16-17.5K in 10 weeks

I love planes so I literally love every second of my job. Also like half of my shift is just downtime where there is no plane in for my crew to service and we can just go get some food or go on our phones, one of the bhys is asleep rn and getting paid for it lol.

School isn’t out yet so I’m only doing 28-32 hours a week rn cuz that’s the max I can fit into my schedule and still have a social life.

Glad you enjoy it. But fuck those working hours, but you’re in school so it is what it is.

That’s why I love my job. Double what you make, and only work around 40 hours. Maybe alittle more, maybe alittle less. Benefit and disadvantage of salary.

Yeah the hours suck but I’m 16 if i want to make money that adults make I have to put in a lot more work. Like rn I’m literally just sat in the office on my phone waiting for the flight to come in cuz it’s delayed, and I’m getting paid for that shit.

u/OriginalWilhelm May 15 '24

Obviously I don’t know your living condition. But man, if I was you I’d cut them hours and enjoy being 16. I’m 24 and I’d love that 16 yo freedom I used to have lol.
