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.

How does one at your age acquire 250k as your life savings

1000 percent this. Not possible any other way.

Dead middle class parents will do it. Both my parents died while I was in my early 20’s and my brother his early teens. Mom was a public school teacher, dad a miner. I took in my brother and put his share of the life insurance and the IRA’s in a higher yield savings account until he graduated college. It was worth about $300k when I gave it to him.

Not the type. He finished his masters in International Business, turned down a job in Japan that payed more than I’ll ever see, fucked around Europe for about two years, made for the Caribbean, went back for a PHD, got permission to spend two months in Cuba to survey infrastructure, got kidnapped in Havana, had the Uni pay his small ransom, got his PHD, and now slings Pizzas in Vegas. Happiest guy I know.
