I'm going back to school next year and it feels like the first time I'm taking out student loans. I've done it before but I paid them all off 4 years ago and can't fully remember how I played the student loans game. I'm trying to calculate my financial commitment and as of now, I'm looking into interest rate, origination fees, and projected monthly payments to understand the long-term financial commitment. Am I missing anything?

I wouldn’t stress yourself out over it. Sounds like you are covering all the bases. When I decided to go back to school I was more focused on the other side, what I was taking these loans out for. It was extremely important that getting into more debt have a good outcome for me in the future.

Nope, you're good! Talk to a career coach if need be. But that's more money you'll be spending. I think you're on a good path, so don't stress about it.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Hi Fishes,

There are many reasons why people in the working world are not direct when speaking. They are one of the following:

* They pretend they are experts
* They are inexperienced
* They are full of themselves
* They don't know what they are looking for
* They love to talk

Even if these people have good intentions, be careful of them. Your time is valuable, and the best thing for you to do is to be direct back at them.
