my 1% plan

[brian_frets]

After becoming ridiculously addicted to poker and taking a little break, I think that I'm ready to play again, this time more responsibly.

I graduate from college in 2 weeks, and soon after I'll enter into a position paying $85k-$100k per year.

My plan is to deposit 1% of my salary at the beginning of each year into an online site (not sure which one yet). (first paycheck after I start, and then each year after that..)

I'll play on internet sites, getting a larger bankroll, and if I win enough I might take B and M trips, using ONLY money that I have won from the 1% to finance trips. If I don't win enough I won't be taking trips, and that's it.

At the end of each year, I will deposit or invest all the money that I have won, and start over with another 1% of my salary.

This way, I can never lose more than 1% of my salary each year, and I can have fun with and invest any money that I win.

Please comment/critique this plan. Thanks! Brian.
