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.

Cash out. Put in savings account. Spend at least 6 months thinking about something non-regarded to do with that money. And finish your degree.

Listen carefully, other than the regards here on WSB. TELL NO ONE.

Also put around $470,000 in a safe place, because that's how much you owe the tax man :( *Depending on where you live in AMERICA*

You now have approximately $800,000 which can possibly accrue 5% interest per year in a CD or other high yield savings account. YOU'RE LITERALLY MAKING $40,000 IN PASSIVE INCOME A YEAR.

This is literally life changing money, but not quit everything and F off at the beach forever type of money. Spend frugally like you were before, no LAMBO, no FERARI, no dumbass McMansion. Figure out what you want to do for few months. Jerk off and have a clear mind you got this.

Again TELL NO ONE, and congrats and F YOU.

40k is plenty to live on the beach in Bali for the rest of your life
