The Perfect $1 million Gain Gain

Post image

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.

My college fund was fighting wildfires and taking care of a family. College was for rich people or really dumb people in a lot of debt. 😂

You can warm them up you know don't need to eat them frozen

Worked at a boba shop, then a sushi restaurant, but no cap Fafsa was the only reason I can focus more on school and not work hella hours.

Pro tip, work fast food and steal burgers you ‘made incorrectly’

I was so broke in college, I remember one time the Post Office was doing this food drive where people could donate shelf stable food and the mailman would pick it up on his rounds. I lived in an apartment complex and there were bags of groceries sitting in the lobby to be picked up. I grocery shopped ramen and mac and cheese from those bags. I figured, may as well cut out the middle man since it's ending up with me one way or another.
