    Probably the most important conversation we have at Lambda is the personal finance training. “OK so you tripled your income. Now keep cost of living low, avoid debt, use tax advantaged low-fee investments, and you will end up rich, absolutely guaranteed.”

        Edit: as @rogerdickey points out shouldn’t say absolutely guaranteed, just your best bet

        Some hyperbole here but I’m glad there is a school somewhere that teaches this

        It’s healthy to be a little crazy but it’s also healthy to admit, at least to yourself, that sometimes you might be wrong ;)

        Sure, what’s wrong though? If you invest $2,000/month from the time you’re 24 how do you end up anything other than rich?

        Better chance than most but it's important for students to know there are no guaranteed investments. My family lost 70% of assets in the .com boom from "low-fee" blue chip funds. Also debt can be great - I borrowed money to buy FB stock pre-IPO, good real estate, etc

        Not sure I agree. If you bought the S&P 500, even at the height of the .com boom, and held until today the return is 53%

        Do you tie this to your incentives? (if students get better at money, do you get more money?) Or is it just improved product -> more sales?

        Doesn’t necessarily help us, but not hard to do and we want students to be successful

        computer sciences is much more than get quick rich scheme, i am sure great minds like Dennis Ritchie are turning in their graves.

        Nothing says “get rich quick scheme” like training in a demonstrable skill, limited personal spending, and sensible investment.

        Should all Lambda students get a free one year subscription to @ynab? 🤔 Could be a good partnership.

        We have a partnership with @Wealthfront, where students get their first $15,000 invested managed for 0 fees to help with smart investment decisions. Would love to have a partnership with someone like @ynab for the budgeting part!
