Guys I am less than 2 days away from my first leg of the trip, and I have to say I am more disappointed than upset.
Listen not trying to be an asshole, but if you can't afford to go on all your trips without hurting yourself financially... why are you going in the first place? You're around my age and this year I could have easily gone to the WSOP and played a few events + go on a few benders (actually had the flight and room booked) and could afford it easily. Instead I'm doing the adult thing and saving for a house I'm about to buy in a few months; taking that trip would have hurt this endeavor, so I didn't go.
Food for thought while you chase those twinks and hope they buy the next round because you can't afford to buy it.

According to the professional financial planners interviewed for this article, even "adults" do unwise things with their money.
Financial planner: I spend more time talking young people out of buying houses than anything else
http://www.businessinsider.com/why-y...-a-home-2016-7
#HopeYourDepositIsRefundableAt the end of 2015, certified financial planner Alan Moore shared his 11 best pieces of financial advice with Business Insider.
Among them: Don't buy a home.
"I spend more time talking young people out of buying houses than pretty much anything else with clients," the cofounder of XY Planning Network wrote. "Now, I know it's the American Dream and I know that we've been told that buying a home is cheaper in the long run than renting - but honestly, it's not always true."
He puts forth the following reasons:
It's illiquid. You end up with all of your money in your house, an asset that's tough to sell and expensive to deal with.
It's immobile. "Whenever you want to chase a new job opportunity (or you get laid off and you need to downsize), or you want to move to a different state or life takes an unexpected turn in some way, homeownership tends to tie us down quite a bit," he wrote.
"Homeownership is a good way to really screw up your finances," he wrote.
Moore isn't the only one in the rent-don't-buy camp. "Buying a house is for suckers," declared self-made millionaire Grant Cardone on Entrepreneur, arguing that a home isn't an investment because it doesn't pay you every month. A home does the exact opposite, and "nothing is a good deal if you have to feed it constantly."
Author James Altucher wrote that he'd never own a home again, citing the money-absorbing purchase process, taxes, a constant need for maintenance, and lack of flexibility. Certified financial planner Sophia Bera wrote on LearnVest about buying a house at age 21 that lost significant value with the housing market crash, and said she considers it a mistake.
So Moore, who wrote that he generally recommends renting as long as possible, isn't alone. However, there is one caveat to his rule: "not buying a home does not apply to investment property. If investment real estate is something you want to get into, it's certainly an option, but you should consult with a financial planner first to map out the best plan of action for your investment."
The truth is that everyone's financial situation is different, and the decision whether to buy or rent a home has a considerable emotional component. If you're considering it, take a look at smart questions to ask before you buy, and read a financial professional's advice on how to be unfailingly logical about your choice.
^^^^ The above is foolish Monday morning quarterbacking by a person who got harmed by the 2008 real estate crash.
Buying real estate is usually a good investment and sometimes it will even make you rich without a whole lot of risk.
The one exception involves buying after a quick run-up in prices, as you are vulnerable to a bubble situation as seen in 2008.
However, even those who bought in 2005-2008 are in okay shape now, as the market has recovered in a lot of places.
You do need deep enough pockets for maintenance and taxes, and if it's a house you're going to live in, you're not going to see the appreciation in real dollars for a long time, unless you take out another mortgage, which of course will eat up your profits somewhat via interest anyway.
Rental properties for income can be quite profitable, but it's a pain in the ass, and you need to know what you're doing.
My cousin bought a flat in london for like 40k british pounds and sold it less that 10 years later for nearly 500k pounds
To be frank, here is some advice related to buying a house: If you buy one retail but actually don't need to buy it to keep your significant other happy enough with you to keep giving you head (and other sexual pleasurings), you're a sucker.
To avoid being a sucker, buy a financially distressed property (e.g. through a sheriff sale or finding one turned back to the bank, and you can hunt down the property manager at the bank who handles the disposition of such properties). I did so at a sheriff sale in 2004, and upon closing a month after the auction, had $30-$40k in equity in a house in a decent suburban development that I paid less than $150k, for including closing costs. And did so using only about $30k of savings, most of which I would have been able to pull out immediately with a HELOC.
But watever you decide, good luck with that.
Not at the moment. But I will remind you that you have yet to recognize in this forum the need to adjust financial rates of returns of assets/indexes priced in different currencies to a common currency in order to legitimately compare them.
And seeing how your line of work might call for doing so (if you get promoted to working with managing international trading risk), I thought I'd mumble up an online source that even you might understand.
