Well...you'll get a ton of different answers here... From the "older" crew (and I'm only speaking from 31 years of age), I'd say invest the money and live very comfortably as you get older...

But I say that now...

Truth is...if I were in my mid-twenties again and banking that much, I'd spend it...wildly. Top-of-the-line appliances, love to cook...best of the best tv...BlueRay, etc... Wii, PS3, Xbox360...I mean, seriously...why the fawk not!

Get a super-nice ride...go out, have fun... Oh, don't forget a percentage for charitable foundations.

It's important to save...but you never know how many days we have here...so best to really enjoy life.
