Episode notes
Value Local Networks Over Prestige
- Proximity to local alumni networks often yields long-term career opportunities and influence.
- Paying out-of-state tuition can forfeit powerful local connections you'll need later.
Reallocate Only After Core Savings
- After you reach hyperaccumulation, decide intentionally how to allocate surplus: kids, real estate, or lifestyle.
- Maintain core saving habits before reallocating to personal abundance goals.
Don't Sacrifice Investing To Pay Low-Rate Debt
- Don't prioritize paying off low-interest mortgage over investing unless you've already saved aggressively.
- Keep building investment compounding early; prioritize 25% gross savings first.
