Thinking of going to get my MBA in about 2 years. Just started a new job, paying me 40k more. Save the new $ (toward biz school) or put into 401k for when I'm in school and not contributing?

Invest the 40k wisely. F the MBA. Retire early. What’s the MBA really going to get you unless you go client side?

In general investing in ur 401k is smart. In this case you need to build up a reserve for tuition, living expenses and the unanticipated.

Use some of the money for a financial advisor to answer this rather than us advertising folk?
