I am going for a Medical Field as a Career. So I make well more than what I would earn in the military. But if things get a bit difficult for the medical field by then I will join the military. Its basically a back up plan if everything fails.
Can you share with us who you bank with? I think we would all appreciate a little investment advice from someone who is able to live off the interest on $60k in a bank account during economic times when you are lucky to get a point on that type of account.
What exactly is a "Medical Field"? Are your going to med school, are your going to be a phlebotomist, are your going to clean bed pans?
Historically being a Princeton/Harvard grad generally doesn't result in things "getting a bit difficult" where you then need to enlist in the army as a second lieu in your mid to late twenties.
My uncle last name us Snowden as ATM I cant account for his first name. If you must know I bank with Wells Fargo. I do realize alot of my information does not add up if you put it all together. Im not comfortable talking about my personal and private life over a forum that can be seen by thousands of other people. When everybody eventually meets me at a NSX event I will gladly explain everything to best of my ability. If you think im just bsing around then dont waste any more time on this subject.
Interesting. Maybe I have been out of the loop but I can't seem to recall a Dean Snowden being in Admissions in Princeton. You must really be able to ace those SATs without an eidetic memory (I guess that makes up for my being 3 points shy of your IQ since I am blessed/cursed with such) insofar as you can't recall your uncle's first name. Maybe it's just my family but I only called my Uncles Johnny, Eddie, Arthur and Climey and never Uncle Last Name.
I never once stated that I lived off my interest from my bank. I do have parents you know. They do pay everything I do and support me in everything i do.
Hmm good for you. Want a prize? I have a extremely big family. And I mean big. My father is one of the most known names in my family. And since I have the same name as him I have to meet ALOT of family members. Majority of my family is called by nicknames and since my uncle does not live in the same state he is rarely seen. So I think you can cut me some slack when I dont remember majority of my family that I see very rare of.
I guess I misunderstood what you meant when you posted you were taking interest from your 60k trust fund. I have to admit I was curious about that as well since as a minor you generally don't have the ability to personally withdraw that interest since it was set up in trust for you.
You must have some stange fetish with kids with their shirt off if you keep posting that kid. He isnt me so I would be careful. Dont want your family members to think your some kind of creepy child molester.
Im just letting it build up until I am of the age to withdraw it my self which I will maybe invest into a house or some sort or maybe something to help me later on down the road.
Once again I bow to your superior IQ and admit my foolishness in mistaking photos you posted in your Twitter and Flickr accounts identifying that crazy youth as yourself. I must also admit you are quite the cunning linguist in being able to replicate "OG speak" in your Twitter account. Tell us the truth now, do you also have an Uncle Vanilla Ice?
That would make sense if banks weren't paying less than a point on a bank account. It would also make sense if you hadn't already posted you had been taking the interest out. If you are going the conservative route with a compounding interest bank account, the key to wealth generation is the compounding part.
Oohhhhhhh I see it now. Your getting that the 60K I have is being spent on this car. No. This 40K is from the Honda NSX in Germany. In a previous thread(Which im pretty sure you read)
Consider I already 60K trustfund with my bank since the age of 5 and have been taking interest from my bank.
I actually do find this forum quite entertaining and you sir I would enjoy meeting one day. I pretty sure for a fact we could do this all day if we meet.
I havent yet decided what I want to major in. I have plenty of time during college if I wish to change majors. Sooner or later once the basic years are done is when I need to make a real choice on a major.
I have to admit that I'm jealous since your IQ beats mine (168-165) and I graduated top of my high school class with a 1427/1600 SAT and couldn't even get wait listed.
Geez Bob, must have been a tough recruiting year. I was #7 out of 470 and 1320/1600 and I got on the WL. I ended up at Cornell, which of course is the best Ivy of them all...though I might be a little biased. Go BIG RED!!!
