Walter was an idiot

$6500 was a lot of money in 1961. He could have just sat on it or gone back to school. What an idiot.

"He could have (...) went back to school."

It's not yet too late for you, Mitch!😁

Now, I don't want to ruin your thread. What did Walter say he wanted to do with it instead???

His mother got $10,000 from her husband's life insurance. She put $3000 down on a small house so they could get out of their rundown apartment. She kept $500 and gave the other $6500 to her son (Walter) to put in the bank. Instead Walter "invests" the money with two other guys to open a liquor store. One of the guys he invests with runs off with the money. I would have killed him.

Yep, that's just stupid.

I thought he was more naive than an idiot.
