Take these people’s good advice my man! I came into $112k just about five years ago. With the exception of $10k for my kids’ 529 college plan, $6k for my Roth IRA, and finally $30k for down payment of my condo, I pissed it all away. Roughly $60k just disappeared because I didn’t have a plan.

Insane how money evaporates if you don’t keep both eyes on it 😭

Yeah. Evaporates is definitely the right word.

Mine evaporated due to shitty rent in a desperate situation, had 18k saved up, had to get an apartment asap, and waited too long to start working again. (I was actively looking but had to wait due to family.)

Although it's obviously gutting you wasted 60k you actually didn't do that badly. I bet in 90 percent of these scenarios the people receiving the money blow the lot. You saved about half and learnt a lesson, that counts for something.
