.: @Bryan Christopher just wondering, since it's been 3 months, if you bought him the fridge or sent him @Mike Dymski's ice cubes? 

Then, here comes the icing on the cake...

Add coconut water or ice tea with the bottled water.

Third, put the money into an account temporarily for a few months, settle in, buy yourself a gallon of your favorite Ice Cream, pop on the boob tube and watch a couple of good movies.

Also, you could also hang out at some local ice rinks where people take their kids to hockey practice!

I say this because your opening post was like walking up to a buffet and asking the chef if you should have pizza, sushi, ice cream, scallion pancake, spare ribs, or peanut butter and jelly.

We use SNOW plows and SNOW blowers , not ICE plows or ICE blowers . 

Come on think about it, have your brother or sister come live with you after you have been living by yourself for 5 years......it won't be a peaches and cream.  

I also looked at the $401K loan as icing on the cake because I could afford to take the hit on my biweekly paycheck and besides if I wasn't paying back the loan I would be using the cash to invest in real estate anyways. 

If it does, then you have gain and cashflow, icing on the cake!
