I am always surprised when I hear this as today people were telling me how their friends make so much money to the point that they have no idea what to do with it and so they simply blow it in a casino. The funny thing is that the topic came up because people were trying to come up with a fair rate to bill them for a service and the response was that the figure was too cheap since these are people that easily blow thousands of dollars on trivial things each day.
I have always wondered myself where if you are truly bored and have no idea what to spend your money on isn’t it more fun and potentially rewarding to just say randomly go to a site like Kickstarter and start investing on some projects to see how they go? Unless you are trying to train yourself to be like the next poker champion I think this would be a good way too to keep yourself in the loop in terms of the things that people are trying nowadays as it may even give yourself some ideas on things to to do and create.
