    I will make an appearance at Vegas one day, but not one day soon. I'll need to save a truck load of money and have some sort of investment at home before I leave.

    Life is looking sweet right now and the only way things can go bad is if I risk the 20K to make more, which in hindsight is pretty absurd. I'd rather waste the money on myself and friends rather than lose all of it too pinny. Gambling is a hobby I have not a habit. Differentiating between the two is very important imo.

    if pinny has overeem vs brock lesnar does not complete 5 full rounds, you should load up and go all in...

    either way, dam i wish i could play there, those mma limits sound too nice.

    That plan is far from being optimal, I made some modifications:

    2k= Living expenses for the next month until I get a job -> 0.05k, canned beans are delicious and provide your body with everyting it needs. Housing is free now since you sleep under a bridge.
    0.5k = Buy laptop with wireless internet access
    19.45k PINNACLE BABY!!!

    I do not want to sound like a show pony but i have no doubt I will make that 20k back with ease. Its not that hard to get a graduate dentist position at the moment. Many of my colleagues have already been lined up with a job. I, however, decided to take a break before entering the real working world....with my 20k

    :S
    I am saving a portion off it. After studying for god knows how long, numerous hours of cramming for exams and late nights, I just thought I deserved this. Saving 20K is not necessary for me at this point in life, I want to enjoy myself before its too late and I get tied up with work and family etc.

    Bbr, spend or should I say save it wisely. This economy is rough right now, a 3k vacation is a bit extreme. U can go on a couples cruise all paid for, for about 1k total.

    I grew up listening to a lot of bone thugs n harmony. The only track i remember from my child hood is Crossroads. Never knew what it really meant but as I entered my teens it all made sense. Deep track that's for sure.

    Invest 15k of it, cancel the vacation and the fukking motorbike, both a waste of money and thats 50% of your windfall pissed down the toilet right off the bat. The vacation will be gone after a brief period of time and the motorbike will only depreciate in value. And put 3k towrad living expenses and 2k toward the gambling, make sure your expenses are taken care of more then your pinny account. You'll thank me in 6 months if you decide put 75% of the cash away cause if you follow your plan the 20k will begone within that time frame. And find something that pays better then a savings account.
