Remember right now I/you are still a teenager as you look into the future to figure out what career path you wish to take. One path I/you might take is to go to college. I have just gone over what you will have to do to accomplish that. Or I/you can go out and get a high paying job, maybe?!. They say if you do what you like/love you will never work another day in your life. The only problem with a job is you will be Just Over Broke because you will be working paycheck to paycheck and usually for someone else. You must have an income that builds on itself.

I totally agree with you on not having college debt. We have a son who is now 33. When he got to college, my husband and I paid cash for all of his college. We did not want him to start out his life with even $50,000 in debt. He also got a great education and now makes very good money. Unfortunately, because we did that, we are now in financial trouble. My husband is 75 and I am 64. I need to make back that money just to help us get through retirement. Our son is very generous and does help us from time to time. But he cannot be responsible for us! My husband and I both have had cancer and made it through. Because of that, our monthly health premiums are over $600. I really need to be able to make that back each month. Of course, I would be happy with a little more. I am not greedy. Just want to be able to not have to worry about bills, food, repairs, etc.
Oh, also, I would not MIND being a millionaire. But I really do not see that in the cards. Like I said, I would just like to not have to worry! If you need help, let the community know. Everyone here is sooooo helpful!

There is a board game out called "Cash Flow" Once your kids have played it a few times they might realize that you were right all along.
