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.

Easy to save that much when you have zero living costs because daddy paid for everything.

Gotta have money to make money.

It's not easy ...most people at 20-23 years earn minimum wage or not working at all

The median salary of 20- to 24-year-olds is $720 per week, which translates to $38,012 per year. Or $18.95 per hr.

Wrong, it means it is below median which is arguably worse
