[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP with the $1M home.  I grew up in Winnetka actually :)  What I'm suggesting is that money (and I have always had it in life luckily) DOES in fact make your life easier and happier.  I totally believe this and anyone who tells you differently is lying.  MONEY does matter.  Following that statement, I am also suggesting in this age there are a ZILLION ways to make a lot (or whatever amount of money you want to make) of money.  Yes, there is and let me tell you something else as a professional recruiter who hires people to work for others and is the daughter of business owners, you will almost ALWAYS have the opportunity to make more money owning your own business than working for someone else.  So after you incur a huge debt getting your Ivy MBA, you will spend most of your income paying that off.  The point is, to be HAPPY over the course of one's lifetime, you will likely want to have a vocation you are driven from enjoyment v. money motivated.  So hear this:  one CAN both find happiness and make a lot of money and be educated without going to a top school or have a great deal of formal education.  However, if one has no drive/ambition to want/need money and no sense, then it doesn't really matter what they do in life irregardless of how academically inclined they are.  Personally I never wanted to work for anyone else.  I wanted to to be my own boss.  My parents really wanted me to have a respectable white collar professional career.  My daughter who is 6 is breath taking in her sensibilities.  I see it now even at this early age.  I don't care what she does because as long as she finds her passion, that girl will be so good at whatever she wants to be, she will find a way to make however much she wants to make financially.  It won't matter if she goes to college or not.  [/quote]
