Save up, go on a nice holiday overseas.

Save up, buy a house.

Take up a new expensive hobby like cycling or photography.

Donate to charity.

Donate to worthy political causes.

Get a dopamine hit from seeing number go up.

So many options.

That’s a slightly more direct way of phrasing it, yes.

Put money into retirement.

On average people need over $1,000,000 in it to retire comfortably now.

I wasn’t talking about myself. See, if anon didn’t even think about traveling for example, he probably will need a passport, vaccinations, foreign payment methods, luggage, etc. That takes a person with a full time job weeks to sort out.

Alternatively DnD minis, they are mostly cheaper, so you can buy even more!

DnD minis are a 3D printer gateway drug. You have been warned.

I’ve been in this situation.

Get married to a single mom and you’ll be broke again in less than a year and in debt the next. That’s the quickest way to lose all of your money.

Didn’t go the single mom route, but a wife and kids takes care of the free time and money problem.

There are way too many comments in this thread for it to be okay that yours is the only one mentioning investing for retirement.

Right? I’m baffled I had to scroll down this far for a mention of investing, which was my immediate answer, after reading the greentext. And it’s absolutely the thing everybody should be doing with part of their money

And make sure you educate yourself on what colleges your kid is looking into. It sure would suck having all the 529 money get sucked into a scam school that generates debt for unexchangeable course credits.

Also, if you are technically self-employed, 401k + self-employed IRA provides a lot of room for more tax benefits. If you manage to fill those, then you can always open a brokerage account to put additional savings.

Broad market index funds are a popular choice.

Eventually retire so you have time to play those video games and get sleep.
