+1 Only good advice in the thread.

A 20-something year old doesn't need sheeit until he owns his own property that he plans to live in for a long while.

A watch made of yellow gold.

reliable booty call!

I'd almost say nothing was essential. Stay agile and mobile. Definitely not furniture.

Spend your money on liquor and women. When you are young, you will get more mileage out of that than anything else. If you are talking serious money - buy a nice vintage luxury car.

a girl, or multiple girls. everything else is superfluous.
