Best: paid off all my credit cards and overdrafts and closed all my accounts except for one everyday spending account and one savings account.

Worst: it was actually 2022 but the bill hit me in 2023. I spent $50,000 on an MBA that is really useless to my career, and I did it because I was looking for approval from others/trying to prove something to the rest of the world.

As an old guy who did extremely well with no college degree, I think you should know that the MBA could serve you well later in life.

A friend of mine who is also a dropout ended up very high in a Fortune 500 company and his late-in-life acquired MBA really helped him understand the company’s workings and his own position far better.
