But seriously, it sounds like you have psychological issues with having all that money, and you'd be more comfortable if you blew it. That's the thing that drives compulsive gamblers, the type that literally won't rest until all their money is gone.

Before you take a six-figure flyer, look at some GA stuff, and see if it applies to you. Not the ridiculous 20-question quiz, with questions like:

# Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling?
# Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
# Did gambling affect your reputation?
# Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?

Those tests are a joke. You could replace "gambling" with words like "marriage", and start to feel that marriage was the cause of many problems.

But I know I derived a lot of help from GA, and it was all psychological. I grew up in a blue-collar house, where all the adults would constantly moan, "You can't win in this world, there's no use trying to succeed, 'they' will screw you every time...", as an excuse for their lower positions in life. So whenever I got my hands on any money, I couldn't (subconsciously) stand to have it, and would not feel at peace until I blew every cent of it.

I'm not saying that's you; but your story about wanting to put a large chunk of your worth at risk, needlessly, reminded me of me, before I understood what the hell was going on in my head. So think about it.
