Getting to the point of a college education being provided is a larger item than one might think when hearing about it.

A stock in investing terminology refers to one share of the ownership of a business corporation. If you own one or more shares of a stock, then you are entitled to your share of the company's profits, whenever the company makes a profit. Conversely, if the company loses money, the value of your share of the company decreases. Assuming you have money to invest, all you have to do is buy one or more shares of stock, and sit back and let the market do its thing. Stocks are an easy way to make passive income.

I just don't understand why people always overlook state schools. Sure, they might not be your ideal situation, but isn't it better than the $100k of debt later on down the line? Sure, my school wasn't my first choice, but it's still a top 50 school for my degree (finance), and I pay $3.5k a year in tuition, total.

I think that with your financial background, you're able to step back and see everything so it's good you're sharing that wisdom here. The timeline is a nice added touch.
