Yeah living like you’re 40 when you’re 20 is an awful way to go through life. Making money is easy. No need to waste your youth doing it.


Lord help us if this is the predominant belief.

I debated some moron chick at LSU a decade ago who was speaking on how college in America should be free like it is in European countries.


I’m very far on the right politically, moving further right each day, but she’s not wrong.

If the US kept all tax payer money within the boarders of the US, college would be free. But the admission standards would go through the roof.

Looks like he has already been depoyed

In addition to having his education costs covered, von Werder earns $400 to $550 a month from the National Guard when he goes to training. During deployments, like an 11-month stint in the Middle East he did between September 2023 and August 2024, he earned around $6,000 a month.

He also makes $2,000 during the fall term coaching his high school’s soccer team.

Though his service commitment meant taking two years off from school during his deployments, getting college paid for “has set me up financially for the rest of my life,” von Werder says.

He strikes me as the youngest child who saw all the problems his parents were having with money and realized if he was going to get anywhere it would be by his own efforts.

Most stupid thing I’ve heard. I deployed more with the guard than active.

Related, this is probably a large reason why he was able to pocket and invest so much at such a young age. He was sitting in Saudi Arabia for 11 months and pocketed $60 - 70K tax free. He was smart enough not to blow it on a motorcycle or some other dumb shite a lot of kids his age in the service do, but that's a big leg up.
