I'm a veteran who recently left the military. 27 years old, 200k NW.

I'll be starting school soon in San Francisco. Due to how the GI Bill works, I'll be getting a TON of tax-free benefits to live there. Roughly $50k (this is after tuition is paid in full). Combined with real estate income and financial aid, I am looking at $85k/ yr in the bank, after taxes.

I want to leverage this situation to the fullest. I've considered getting a part-time job to stack money even faster. An extra 50k would be 35k after taxes, or 140k in 4 years.

I have also considered this as a way to start a business. I'd have 4 years without the need for a job, and I'd have the resources to fund it.

What would you do?
