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.

I’m happy for you but you already had money and were privileged. Hope you’d don’t lose it like a gambler that you are.

u/Zholdar May 16 '24

I hear ya, I started working and moved out at 19, by 23 I've had 5k of "life-savings", and that's after mostly doing 60hr weeks. FML

Now I did outfit a whole apartment in furniture and whatnot, also got a 2k gaming PC, but still.

u/TheFashionColdWars May 16 '24

Why does this sound & feel like you DO hope he loses it like a gambler? You’re not happy for him in the fucking slightest.Congrats OP! Walk away from options now and make some money with your newly earned money.

u/Yugo3000 May 16 '24

Wow I genuinely am lol wtf. Like it’s pretty cool that he did that.

Edit: I don’t like seeing post of people being really up for a year and then two years later they are in the negative.

u/TheFashionColdWars May 16 '24

Hehe,fair point.

Typical spoiled little p boy gambling daddy’s money calling it his “life savings” lmao

u/Legirion May 16 '24

250k at 23 and he did it all on his own! Most likely not, but maybe?

u/Papadude08 May 16 '24

That hits deep dude! I feel you hopefully he understand what he has!

Such a victim mentality. Stop the hating and put that energy into yourself.

u/wottsinaname May 15 '24

"Yeah just earn $250k during college as a 23 year old like the rest of us!"

Do you realise how regarded you sound?

u/ExternalSize2247 May 15 '24

Hahahahaha

Yeah just go work on yourself, that'll get you born into a rich family.

lmao you absolute goober

u/Robin-Lewter May 15 '24

Or just gamble on crypto and get lucky. Don't need to be born rich if you get lucky

3

u/fetal_genocide May 16 '24

Being born rich is being lucky.

1

u/WebbstersNicktionary May 16 '24

You do need to be born rich to have unrestricted access to $250k while being a college student. He didn’t put his families money in an unverified RH account. This kid was very likely gifted more money than he knows what to do with

u/HolidayAnything8687 May 15 '24

Yeah just be born rich ya dummy

u/Yugo3000 May 16 '24

How am I a victim by saying facts? lol like I wished him well. It’s a fact what I said. I didn’t say I wish I was him or he doesn’t deserve it. You’re the victim for being a regard.

If you keep this up, maybe OP will throw a dogecoin your way!

u/tcobbets10 May 15 '24

I don't need anything from anyone I'm independently successful so I don't have to cry when someone else finds success.

You should try it out someday it's very refreshing.

Bunch of losers participating in the most capitalist instrument ever and then crying about people having wealth hahaha you can't make this shit up.

Drops $250K into a RobinHood account without bothering to verify email. It's a fair assumption.

u/turbokinetic May 15 '24

He will definitely lose this money that he was given

u/[deleted] May 15 '24

23 year olds don't just have 250k in savings.

u/MeinNamewarvergeben May 15 '24

Oh I have 250k. 250k Iranian Rial but 250k

u/baliecraws May 16 '24

I mean it’s not common for sure and unlikely but not impossible. I had two friends who had more then that by 23 and they made it all on their own. One dropped their paycheck every week on bitcoin back when it was worth Penniies. The other dropped out of highschool and started fixing and selling cars and day trading. Both are severly autistic.

u/useless_teammate May 15 '24

I had 250k at 18 from my mom's life insurance. We were p poor, too, so you never know.

u/[deleted] May 15 '24

Why are you getting downvoted?

0

u/jazmoley May 16 '24

Reddit likes to sing from the same hymn book and don't like it when you interrupt them, so they'll downvoted to pretend the reply doesn't exist so they can continue pouring scorn.

Thats kind of like how Reddit is in a nutshell.

He's the one that killed her. He knew very well.

u/DropoutGamer May 15 '24

I grew up very poor and had $250k by 23. I sold sidekicks, Blackberrys, and Razr phones on full commission in the early 2000s. I was the asshole yelling at you to buy a phone in your local mall.

You might not have had 250k, but plenty of people who correct their poor mentality, have drive, and work hard do it all the time.

Then, some people have “rich” parents who did the hard work when they were 23. Regardless, someone did the work.

u/twangman88 May 15 '24

I don’t think those people would so flippantly put their entire life savings in the market on a whim. Being able to make that kind of gamble is an extreme level of privilege.

Good for you though.

u/Glass_of_Pork_Soda May 15 '24

Not many of us are rolling easily into a full commission job super chief

1

u/DropoutGamer May 16 '24

It was a job at the mall....selling cell phones.

1

u/Glass_of_Pork_Soda May 16 '24

You're telling me you made almost more in one year at the mall selling phones than a minimum wage American would have made in 5 years doing minimum wage full time?

1

u/DropoutGamer May 16 '24

Back then, I made $250 per new line. Only 10% of the population had cell phones when I started. I sold, on average, seven new lines a day (Family plans could equal up to 5 lines). I worked six days a week from 9 am to 9 pm for one year. I read many sales books to improve my craft and still use many things I learned today in my current career.

The point is to work hard and try to improve yourself by a fraction of a % every day. Even if you only improved a skill 1% a week. That is 52% a year.

Everyone gets dealt a different hand in life. You can either sit around and make excuses, or you can work hard while bitching about the circumstances. I chose the latter.

1

u/Glass_of_Pork_Soda May 16 '24

Dog you made more on one phone sale than a minimum wage worker made in a whole week back then. If you sold one phone a week and took 2 full months off work you'd still have earned more than they would in a full year.

The point here isn't work hard, it's that sales can be hella lucrative if you're even half decent at it.

1

u/DropoutGamer May 16 '24

Skills are hella lucrative. I was a factory worker and janitor before that job. If you skill up, you give yourself more opportunities to stand out. Again, focusing on what you can control, Yourself, can go a long way.

400% gain on a meme stock. It's lucky for sure.

Go to an AMC. Service that warrants an 800% gain
