    Andy please feel free to make a copy of my sheet and do this. I'm done with it. People can freely take this and make it into something more awesome, and even make money with it. I'm not going to touch this thing again. It served its purpose for me and I'm setting it out on the curb for someone...

    :thumbsup: You're proving what I learned while doing this. Small input changes result in giant differences. Other factors: • Taking into account any of the basic living expenses • Using after tax pay, not pre-tax figures • Making room for increased living costs over that time frame ($30k...

    Two things: 1. For the record, I didn't have to do any convincing, I just had to lay out the facts. He's smart. 2. We earmarked 80k for tuition at University of Wisconsin Madison, or University of Minnesota. He didn't want to go to those schools because they didn't have any programs in his...

    I agree, it is outrageous. IMO, this is the final cash grab before it all comes apart. I made it view-only, and if you are logged into a Google account you should be able to make a copy.

    How does One Love the Journey?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I was in a hot mood yesterday and I shouldn't have touched my keyboard. So I've revised this to read less a-holish. I can't do the tradeoff of doing something I don't like for years to reach some sort of promised land. To the OP: I like this strategy. Life is a funny and difficult puzzle for...

    This could apply to trade schools as well. Reference my "Trade/Alt School" spreadsheet image above.

    I'll also add that parents should check the fiscal health of these schools. My son was accepted to DePaul, received a 60k scholarship. Then I found a Forbes article that reported that they were facing a $56M deficit this YEAR. Now, do you think those college professors are thinking about my...

    Thank you, and agreed. There is only so much you can do, the rest relies on your kid's ability to find the determination to break through. Here are 2 examples I'll share to drive this point home. Look specifically at the student loan payment, leftover capital, and ROI cells specifically...

    "I had no idea it was going to cost $200k for my kid to go to college. He knows what he wants to pursue, and even though this is an insane amount of money, I feel like if we don't get loans we'll be cheating him out of his best chance for success. But this seems like so much. How can I know if...

    How to escape a circle of procrastination

    MINDSET 
    "Guarantee that I will make lots of money, then I'll do it." or: "It's not worth doing unless I make money." Another version: "Will this be on the test?" There seems to be a big contingent of the culture that is obsessed with how much money they can make with as little effort as possible...

    I can tell you are a high achiever and you probably set even higher standards for yourself. This push/pull is probably healthy. In my experience it's never over. I've been on top of my game for five years, then I go in the valley for two. It's a never ending battle—or maybe a side quest—to stay...
