About this module
A few decisions matter way more than the rest: where you live, how you get around, and what you learn. Getting these right can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime. This module gives you simple ways to think clearly about giant choices.
Key takeaways
- Buying a home only beats renting if you stay put for years - moving soon makes renting the winner.
- A car costs way more than its price tag - gas, insurance, repairs, and losing value all add up.
- An expensive school isn't automatically better - compare what you pay against what you get.
- Great decisions are made with time and information - anyone rushing you is a red flag.
