Way back in college, an older friend of mine told me three things that have stuck with me in life.

Never date someone you work with.
Never rent to family or friends.
Never loan money to family or friends unless you don't want it back.

Despite his advice, being a horny know-it-all college geek, I decided to make a move on the new marketing director at our office in SLO. She was bonified crazy but so hot. A year later after we split, it made work so ridiculously awkward for not just us, but our co-workers too, I eventually quit. I should have listened to my friend.

Crypto, or possibly biomed.

What else would you do with it?

(Seriously, a lot of folks could use the money but don't fall for the "juice the economy" by buying unnecessary stuff. We aren't out of the woods yet.)

1st roll of the dice my eldest brother received $125k... Used it to buy a Porsche Cayene "for the business", turns out he got a HUGE tax rebate for "investing in machinery for his business over X thousand lbs in bulk weight". His candy business does about 20-22 million per year.



Rome fell too, not from external foe.
@mundus is this the post you're referring to?
