During my college days, I was making pretty good money playing poker at the nearby casino.
I had run my bankroll from $100 up to about $17,000 in a matter of months. But after running and playing bad, my bankroll was back down to around $10,000. I decided it would be devastating to graduate with nothing, so I went to the bank, and opened up a bank account.
I put $2,000 into a checking account, and $2,000 into a 6-month CD. I can't tell you how proud I felt walking out of that bank. I knew, with 100% certainty, that I would have at least $2,000 waiting for me upon graduation (you can't withdraw money from a CD until it expires).
So I left myself with something like $6,000 to keep building my bankroll.
