Default Spending money

Just put your fortune in the bank, Chocobo... You don't want your life to be a lot of "Wasn't it great when I had money to spend?". With 5,000,000 in the bank, you could live off interest and never work. It's getting the 5,000,000 in the bank that messes people up. Consider that life doesn't end at 20, and your 98 Mustang will seem like a Nova when you're 50. But 5,000,000 in property like what Jon's getting... That's going to be a nest egg for life (unless he's extremely careless). Think about it before you spend a hefty chunk. Good luck collecting it, too.

But responsibility could turn your $19,000 into a house, and that's the first step in making a fortune in property. In my situation, I'm trying to build an empire like the one that Jon will be receiving, but I have no cash to lay down. No amount of brilliant schemes will get me $19,000 in the bank in a short period of time. Having EQ run fast for the next 2 years will seem like a great deal until you have to spend 60 hours a week paying bills, and EQ goes down the tubes. And depreciation (loss of value on property over time) is a bi***. Just be careful. My brother does with his money what you are proposing to do, and he gave up on computer technology to strive to be a manager of a waffle house with a nice car and a kickass computer. Making phat money doesn't mean jack if you just spend it all. But help the economy if you must! I, for one, won't mind harvesting the available money for myself.
