My NW at 27 was about about $113k. I was making $105k a year and I was at a crossroads.

Do I give up 2 years of salary + take on $150k+ of loans to go back to school…or do I stay the course and continue to earn?

I decided to take the risk, and I’m glad I did. You can see my net-worth was down to $26k when I finished school in 2021 (age 29), but I ended up in a great industry and a job that I love. I currently make about $215k/year in a 40 hour/week job. I was also able to build my NW all the way up to $400k now in 5 years.

Let me know if anyone has any questions on if they’re considering going back to school. I don’t think it makes sense for everyone, but happy it worked out in my situation.
