The government pays for my education. I am the example MJ DeMarco talks about in his book.
"A Fastlane Forum user had an opportunity to pursue an MBA and he asked if it was worth it.
My answer typically would be no, but this scenario was different. First, the MBA had no money cost, only time cost, as the government was paying for it. Second, this gentleman espoused the Fastlane ideology so his purpose was not intrinsic value elevation, but expansion of his knowledge to facilitate a Fastlane system. I voted yes."
I am living on my own right now. My family is very dysfunctional and is a bad influence, a "headwind" as MJdeMarco would call it. I decided to move away, to get better influences and to get some more responsibility. No more wasting time travelling either.
“If you
hang out with dogs, you get fleas.”
Problem is: I can't pay the rent anymore.
So I am borrowing money, and if I continue to do this, I would have a 20000 euro debt at graduation. Just 19 year old btw.
What whould you guys do?
I could get a job to pay my rent, but I would trade my most valuable asset "time" for a little bit of money.
