I just got 2 things to say.

1. You sound like u have put some thought into this so imo i think u will regret it more if u dont go ahead with this and always wonder what the expercience would have been like than you would be if u go to vegas and lose alot. So Defo go for it and enjoy urself, Dont end up a few years down the line with to many commitments to do something like this and always wondering what if.

2. I dont like the way you talk down about ramen noodles. Sure they are cheap but man are they tasty. I can afford to buy food and eat out but i still nearly eat 2 packs a day.
