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.

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

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.

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

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

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
