I understand your apprehension about the "real" world and the "rat race", I was in exactly the same shoes some (ahem) years ago. I'd guess that the most encouraging thing I could...

    Deciding how to split equity amongst co-founders.

    PEOPLE 
    This is an interesting method of allocating equity, thanks for that. I usually try to deter folks that talk of taking on a partner, but I wonder if a method such as this could be made to work. Has anyone used a method such as this, and if so, did it drive the partners to commit and take...

    Where to Park the Little Money that I have?

    INVESTING 
    Banks aren't paying squat for interest, as you already know, and it's less than inflation!!! Get your savings out of the bank and put it somewhere useful, like in a mason jar buried in the back yard. Or just take MJ's advice.

    This is What Happens When a Sidewalker Wins the Lotto

    I don't believe her for 1 second. If she is truly that miserable, she doesn't have to cash the checks or keep the money. She could give it all away and go get herself a JOB. I'm calling BS on her.

    strategizing a resolution to a complex dilemma

    EXECUTION 
    @B V Marlon has nailed it! The only thing I will add is that you might take a very focused approach. Drill down to just 3 potential customers and find out everything about them you can.
