How I made >$100k and paid off my college loans by graduation

Found my passion in the process, but highly do not recommend. — Growing up, I remembered watching movies where kids would “save up for college”. At that time, I barely knew what college was — but saving up to pay for something so exciting in your life (or at least how Hollywood glamorized it) seemed like the cool thing to do. …

Consistency is the gold standard of a good life because it means you’re unstoppable: you will show up — Human beings speak about 16,000 words a day on average.
