One of the best Capstone Conversations I've been able to go to so far is definitely the Winning Game with Adam Carroll. This gentleman wrote a book about how to manage your personal finances and get to a level where you no longer have to worry about money. He started out in college acquiring a lot of debt on his credit card and when he got out of college he realized this was going to be a serious problem for him, so he and his future wife spent two year living very tightly in order to pay off the debt he had acquired. After two years he had paid off every cent he owed and began working on building his wealth. He began investing in stocks that were constantly increasing no matter the market and he also began making his money work for him. He now has the ability to go to his stockbroker after finding how much a car they want costs and telling the stock broker to sell a portion of their stock so they can buy it. That's amazing.
I hope to achieve this level of personal finance stability where I can go out for a night on the town and not worry about whether or not I'm going to be able to cover dinner. I'm planning on working on my financial duress right now by looking at scholarships and making a challenge to myself to apply to one every single day if possible so that I have a high chance of getting the money that's out there to be had for students like me.
