Quotes

There are so many options for exploring yourself and finding what you want to do other than college

College is a broken system that needs to be reimagined from the ground up

It’s not just your bank account that’s going to give you happiness, security, and freedom

It’s actually easier to earn more than save more

One of most basic ways to increase your income is to increase the span of your working life
