>Don't buy real estate
Understood sir. Thank you so much. I do have a question though, when would I know that it's a good time to buy real estate? I truly do love my mother and I want to see her have the house that she has worked so hard for, but I don't think that's possible right now. How do I know when it would be a good time? Would it take a decade or so?

>Don't do that.
Wait what? Why? Isn't it a safe option that leads to a good career? My life ever since about 11th grade has really ramped up in complexity. I originally wanted to go to Stanford since it was a prestigious school, and I worked really hard for it. However, I realized that my 10th and 9th grade performance was pretty mediocre and that alone would pretty much cripple any chance that I had.

And my other people my age who also try and get into these top schools form the most toxic community I have ever seen in things like r/Applying2College and other stuff like that. I also realized after attending AP classes, that all these people have the largest egos ever. It's actually insane how smart they consider themselves to be. It's nothing but bragging about each other's achievements, but the worst part is that it's all hidden behind a mask of being 'kind,' so nobody even says anything about it.

I used to be just like that too. I was so obsessed with getting into Stanford, but over time in 11th grade I began to realize how silly it all was. Even if I were to get into Stanford, then what? What would Stanford do for me? I then began to look more into it and I generally came to the conclusion that the difference between colleges is pretty negligible and doesn't really matter after a few years in the work force. So I just threw my towel in and instead enjoyed my high school years doing what I wanted to do. That's not to say that I don't want to be successful, I just don't think college is the place to go for if I want success.

I finally got into politics and now I want to get into investing.
