Your Kid Is Already on Netflix — Why Are You Paying $65K for the Degree?

Building Wealth Means Choosing What Matters Most · Jun 29, 2026 Education

Filmmaking students go to school hoping one day to get on Netflix. Reggie's 19-year-old son is already there.

That gap triggers the same norepinephrine response as making errors in physical practice. It's why drivers used to have to retake tests, and why physicians still do.

33 Years Old with $69K Debt: Is 11 Years of Med School Worth It?

Stop Giving Away Your Control · Aug 10, 2026 Education

May is 33, carries $69K in combined household debt, and wants to spend 11–13 years training to become a forensic pathologist at $14K/year in tuition. The prerequisite is non-negotiable: zero debt before a single class. Then, with the spouse earning $4,500/month and able to run the household debt-free, cash-flowing medical school is genuinely possible.
