Friend told me this is post worthy, anyways I’m blessed. I withdrew everything and put it all into VOO. Hoping I’ll be ahead of my age group for future retirement. God bless America.

Good shit young blood. You should take about $10k-$15k out and go do something really cool though. At your age, can always make more money, but you can’t get back time.

When I was your age, I went up $70k trading in a few weeks. My buddy called me and said “come to Vegas for EDC with us tomorrow then, since you made so much money”…I told my boss “hey I’m gonna need the the rest of today and tomorrow off” and I bought a 3 day pass to EDC, plane ticket, and went to Vegas. Bottle service and party favors later, it was one of the most fun ways to splurge and spend $7kish 😂 Just do it

Dang, none of my friends listen to edm or go to edc. Would love to meet ppl who are edm fans, any advice? Maybe I gotta try harder to find ppl in my uni who raves

EDC is awesome. Never did the sky vip area because it's ridiculously expensive, but regardless of that -the experience is really something else! Highly recommend.

u/yodogyodog Feb 01 '25

How much is the sky vip experience?

u/ThatChrisGuy7 Feb 01 '25

Eh EDC is great but so crowded, there’s better EDM festivals

u/cape_soundboy Feb 01 '25

You can go to raves solo and you'll make loads of friends if you just talk to people and enjoy yourself, don't hold out on just taking yourself

u/ConvultedTetris Feb 01 '25

Pull up to Europe bro hella edm festivals here

1

u/dolfan72 Feb 01 '25

Go to local shows and naturally meet ppl that way, maybe there’s a DJ club on campus and that might be an easy way to find ppl in the scene

Tell them ecstasy is fun

u/who_am_i_to_say_so Feb 01 '25

Go to EDM shows or raves and befriend EDM people.

Ivan?! Is it you? One of my coworkers is obsessed with ladyboys from Thailand. You reminded me of him. He’s probably out hanging out with them as we speak!

u/MySnake_Is_Solid Feb 01 '25

I'd appreciate you not airing out my business Daniel.

He doesn't want ladyboys

u/Imperial_Bouncer Feb 01 '25

Don’t speak for OP

u/Cardboardoge Feb 01 '25

Also love the implication that SA doesn't have ladyboys. Rude awakening time, source South American

1

u/hodl_4_life Feb 01 '25

Serious question, if you’re into juicy male appendages (no shame if you are)… then why would you want them dressed like women?

Also, how far will NVDA fall?

u/Throwaway-tan Feb 01 '25

He's a gambler, playing ladycock Russian roulette. Never know what you're going to get until it's 6 inches deep.

u/IveyLeagueLegend1975 Feb 01 '25

And cheaper women

0

u/Susano-o_no_Mikoto Feb 01 '25

cost of living cheap because many people aren't happy with their standard of living. brazil's a good spot to live but don't know if it's exactly "cheap"

1

u/Apex_62 Feb 01 '25

That's not true... I've lived in South American countries and it has nothing to do with people not being happy w their living standards... Not to mention I named an entire continent NOT one country...

u/JackLong93 Feb 01 '25

Spending the summer in europe would be my fucking dream, you should do it and update us with posts

1

u/Mnawab Feb 01 '25

and invest the rest in something safe as you have a massive jump in life.

u/snozzberrypatch Feb 01 '25

Buy a bunch of cocaine and champagne and invite over the skankiest sluts you know. It'll be a good time, trust me.

this is one of the rare times when wsb actually gives solid advice

u/NealCaffreyx9 Feb 01 '25

This! Take a look at Yachtweek or some shit. Pick Croatia, visit a country before for a long layover, and then do the same after the Croatia portion. I did it when I was older than you are, but still 10/10 experience.

u/theBacillus Feb 01 '25

what is he IS from Europe?

u/JamisonDouglas Feb 01 '25

Go elsewhere in Europe, it's a big place

1

u/muckimo88 Feb 01 '25

The he would have make less money since the €/$ ratio is shitty for the Euro at the moment…

u/Jammy1007 Feb 01 '25

Yup, this… in other words make some memories with this core memory you just made.

u/Galumpadump Feb 01 '25

Summer in Barcelona is definitely feasible with 15K.

Thats fair. I’ve been to Milano but not Rome. I hear so mixed thing about Rome but if we are going to be honest, both will probably be fantastic. Nice is the summer would be hard to pass up.

u/theycallmekimpembe Feb 01 '25

Won’t get that far with 10k 😂 a week in England half way decent will set you back around 2.5k, a week in Switzerland around 5-7k. That would be the 10k gone in 2 weeks..

1

u/username_235 Feb 02 '25

What a bs. You can have a great week in Switzerland for 2k

u/theycallmekimpembe Feb 02 '25

Not if you actually wanna enjoy yourself. The hotels be around that alone or more
