Ben Mezrich http://benmezrich.com/news/ writes books with these of true stories with young kids in their 20's. Although usually there is some huge big upside to the end. If you ended up with something shady then got out of it in a healthy way but still had a ton of money, then you got your script.

Craig's onto something. Have you tried to write a script about all this? Someone may take a bite and you may have yourself a nice investment right there...

Good guest post. I follow debtkid as well but did not know that detailed background story. It sounds like a movie storyline. He is right though. I have barely invested to as well, but the thought of gaining quick cash to impress friends, girls sounds great as well. I've been in some online sports pools because of it. I don't really know much about investing and stocks and bonds, so for me I look at that as the same gamble as me going to a casino. I agree with you that you should think more long term with investments and do the proper homework before putting valuable money down.
