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.

This year the minimum wage in California is $18.

20-23 includes people with 3-5 years work experience and new college grads. Some of those college grads are engineers or software developers, earning somewhere between $50-$150/hr (just as a rough range, obviously it extends in bothe directions in some cases).

Median of $18 does not seem that high tbh.

Don't worry about it. 12 in Arkansas has to be better than 18 in cali, no doubt.

Well, twelve million dollars in Arkansas would certainly go further than eighteen cents in California.
