Can you elaborate on this? You mean you went from 12,500 to 100k in 11 months from holding gold?

If you are just going to keep spending money like someone who is average then why accumulate wealth?

yeah this is my problem now, it used to make a difference, in that being a student (i.e. supposed to be poor) instead i could go out and spend $300 on drinks on a day long bender, $800 on strippers etc. that made me feel like it was all worth playing poker.
now i don't have that. i feel like i should be spending more, becuase this amount of money will mean a lot more to me now than it will (hopefully) when im in my 30s or later down the line, but there is nothing i really want to spend my money on, becuase i generally get enjoyment from going out, playing golf, going to watch my footy team, schooling opponents at poker. none of these require a lot of $$. so why do i still care about $$$? - becuase i will always have the desire of being minted, i guess it's what keeps me going. also i do have a sense of pride in a weird way how well poker has gone (obv a lot have done a lot better) - the only way to really rate yourself at poker is how much you've made, so i guess i've been used to comparing how things are going by how much im making.
