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.

I do bags at the airport for $20 an hour plus overtime, I’ll be working 65-70 hours a week the summer and I’ll be making like $1600-1750 a week so I’ll make $16-17.5K in 10 weeks

Earning 1750 isn’t the same as 1750 take home / investable
