- Opportunities:
- Academic: Your time, your parent’s money. Will you maximize your ROI? Will you maximize their ROI?

- Learn about inescapable trade-offs in life: time vs money
- Age and allocation: Youth: short on money, long on time. Old age: long on money (maybe), short of time.

- Compounding process: An early start makes a huge difference.
- Setbacks and recovery.
- Economic: Learning from economic setbacks is cheaper and easier during youth.
