What is the point of having money if you can’t be the person you want to be?

That doesn’t mean that you should do things you can’t afford but that you should invest in things that are important to you. There are other kinds of returns than money.

It’s actually on my mind a lot lately since I’m a high school senior and deciding where to go to college. It seems foolish to go to a school where I’m getting into so much debt when I can go somewhere else for basically nothing (especially considering I probably won’t go into a super-high-paying field), but I can’t help but feel I wouldn’t be as happy or get as much out of it personally. Anyway, great post.
