If you want to kill yourself over someone's opinion on a public board - do it.

OPs money in the end. OP asked a board, and its just my opinion as to what I'd do with $60K one time income.

Btw StringedInstruments, with all due respect, you don't "find yourself" on a luxury European vacation like you are expecting. I'm just saying. Those kinda vacations will tend to be inexpensive ones.

What is your reasoning for saving money? So you can retire and enjoy it one day. Well, I would rather spend the 10k as a single 26 year old on the beaches of Croatia with some babes


With that kind of attitude, you will for sure be in Piccadily at 70.

Never said it was about finding himself. Just that it was a unique opportunity to have a big time experience as a single guy going wherever the hell he wants to go and do whatever he wants to do.

And the $10k was arbitrary, right? He could spend whatever amount he wanted.

Point is that people often have two regrets about their twenties: 1) they didn't do more to advance their career and secure their finances for the future and 2) they didn't take advantage of being single, no kids, and less financial responsibility and go have fun.

He has the opportunity to do both. Have $50k in savings (in addition to his Roth) and go do something spectacular that costs money.

And you may not make it to 70 with as happy as your life must be


"No, Susy, we cant order appetizers!!!!! I want to save for retirement that I may never see or be healthy enough to enjoy"

Look, saving is good. But this board goes waaaaay overboard and completely misses the point of life sometimes. Although, I think alot of posters arent telling the truth and just trying to play up being frugal and saving because thats what the board wants to hear.
