You'll look back at this 20 years from now and say, man, I had 50K before I was 25 years old. Can you imagine what that pot would look like had I invested in commercial real estate. Whatever you're going through will eventually work itself out but that money can grow and make your future years much more comfortable. Remember, if you allow that money to work for you, you'll be in a position where you never have to get up early, take shit from a boss and do the 9 to 5 thing.

But if you do this for an adventure, you will lose either way. If you lose the bet, you're a jackass with no respect for money and whatever you think you may have learned will pale in comparison to what that money could have done for you years from now. If you win, you will want to recapture the moment and you will do it again until you lose.

This adventure will not fill the void, it will only widen the chasm.
