Waaahā€¦ School really rapes your fundsā€¦ Consider 28 hours of class a week, atleast 2 hours of break in between every day and a 3 hour daily commute. Factor in the $6000 a year tuition, and chip in with the $170 a textbook average cost. Now think about 6 courses that need textbooksā€¦ and most need TWO. Long story short, $1600 for textbooks. $20 a week on subway tokens, $20 a week on gas, $60 a week on girlfriend. Now work for 22 hours a week. When do you study, when do you sleep? šŸ˜ƒ ---

if you have everything you want you need to start wanting moreā€¦ as you achieve certain goals you should be setting new ones that are reaosnably attainable and long term goals to which your short term ones lead. at present i have everything i ā€œneedā€ as far as the bottom couple levels of maslows heirarchy, but iā€™ll be damned if i dont run the country and then the entire free world by 35 years of ageā€¦lol and if i dontā€¦ SNIPER TIME!!! ---

luck is a pretty huge factor actually. luck comes into play when you are fortunate to have parents or family who share their resources with you when if you were an outsider you would not qualify for such opportunity. i am luckier than some in that my family lets me live for free and crap. but one of my best friends is luckier that pretty much everyone: -family flew him to colorado springs -give him laptop and $3000 worth of trading software -puts him up in a luxury condo -gives him $50,000 hedge account to play with -gramma buys cars, pays insurance of over $1000 usd per month as secondary driver due to multiple major accidents at fault -paid in cash beyond costs of living -free luxury furniture, rent, use of other cars -cousins buys $3million challenger jet and they fly to Vale on weekends to snowboard no post secondary education family = good. if you are 25 or younger and have all you need, chances are it is because your family hooked you up. no shame in that either, just dont act like you grew everything from the ground up yourself. ---

24 turning 25 in a month and it sucks. All i can say is enjoy the time you have at home there youngins. Eventually there will come a time when you gotta start worrying about bills. As for the whole education thing it is well worth it as i can say that i have managed to rack up 25 gā€™s in debt but there were many a parties and i met some very good people. TO those of you that started your own companies congrats to you especially in these times you know what i am talking about. Cheers bryce ---

Itā€™s all about who you network with and how hard you are willing to work for it. If you know the right people and work hard for them and with them youā€™ll make it with no problems. The reason most small businesses fail is due to total stupidity and newbness. Donā€™t be a newb. BTW Iā€™m 23ish and proud to be an overacheiving Janitor. ---
