Hi Mr. Sheats!
I'm a home educated 13-year-old fan of your podcast. I love
how in-depth, interesting, and out-of-the-box it is. I used
to listen to the Dave Ramsey Show a lot, but that got really bland,
so my dad suggested your show. I love it!
I've been listening pretty much daily since January of this year,
and you've inspired me to become financially independent before age
30. Right now, I'm saving 70% of my income from working at my
parents' dental office and trying to develop skills that will get
me closer to that goal (such as math, coding, and finance, all
things I love learning about and think have the best potential to
help me become financially independent).
Do you have any advice for a thirteen-year-old listener like
me?
As for a specific question, I was wondering whether you would
recommend I continue doing high school at home or attending our
local public school.
I'm really interested in taking CLEP classes since those could help
me finish college faster.
As far as I can tell, the pros of public school are:
Cons:
Thanks for all your time!
