I'd recommend you read The Man Who Quit Money.

I think that regardless of what I went to school for, I'd have come to this realization.

For the record, Daniel Suelo has a college degree ;-)

I just sent him an email to get his opinion on the matter.

any response?

He had sent out another email recently saying that he'd be on tour with the Lakota Tribe I think it was so he wouldn't have much time to respond. We'll see though. My thoughts have been very back and forth on the issue. I figure, I should probably take responsibility for my stupidity in coming here. I must have come here for a reason, and I haven't done anything significant enough to warrant how much money I'm spending. So I'm trying to figure out what it is I was meant to do here. Perhaps that'll require me to stay another year.

What's the date that you would graduate? Print it off on a piece of paper and hang it on your wall. Below the date write the words (hand written), "I will do this."

Then, do it.

Yes.

That he does. I recently was emailing him, I should ask him if he regretted getting it. I know that he was planning on bailing out paying off his debt, but the debtors nagging his parents bothered him too much.

I may read that someday, but I can say confidently without reading it that you have get very lucky in terms of your circumstances for something like "quitting money" to work.

BLOB_CASTLE  ·  3987 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I respectfully disagree.

Well I certainly hope it works for you if you try it.
