...i havent pissed away all my money, but about 50% of it is gone...
WOW! I'm so sorry to hear this, Steve. But you know Tennyson's adage, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"? Maybe it's the same with money? You've had a major success already, muffled by this recent failure.
Still, you have over $30K in reserves? That's more than I have at 25. I don't know that I could turn it into 200K by the end of the year, but X-Mas '09 is definitely doable. '08 was a rebuilding year.
This won't be popular on this forum, but I would recommend using 25-50% of it to buy stocks. Everybody knows the market is in the tank. Don't wait for the bottom, just buy -- and have the discipline to leave it there. This is your hedge.
$15K is more than enough to start an E-biz. You have the sales expertise. What about an E-book or a sales skills system? Teach others how to sell like you do. I can see it now: Russ K, the next big name in sales gurus. Selling eBooks, books, DVDs, and other helpful tools for people who want to become better at sales. You have the bona fides! Christ, you "retired" at 25 and bought your dream car! I think this would be easy for you, and all 130 of those books you bought will finally come in handy. Good luck!
