Also missing: put it in the bank (i.e. do nothing).

The answers to the "greatest satisfaction" question are also telling. They are all job/business related. There's not even a single "spend time with my friends and family" catch-all.

Yeah. Where's the "travel the world and live in a tent" option. My soul mate is definitely out there in a tent with mad cash in the bank watching a sunset from a mountain top.

Sigh

We'll never find each other unless s/he wanders into an internet cafe tomorrow before this rolls off of front page of HN...

Hurry soul mate! HURRY down the mountain!

You cam make up whatever hair-brained scenarios you want, but 1 in 3 people in the US have debts in collections. Or 77 million people.
