You are correct to believe that the Masters is really the new undergraduate degree in MOST places. Doesn't hold true in all areas but most. I have a B.A. a Masters and a Post Bachelors (an in between Bachelors and Masters), but I'm stopping there because I teach school at the moment and it would not be financially smart to go any higher because the economic rewards aren't as great. Also moving marriage back is also smart, my wife and I got married when we were 31. (Two year anniversary coming up.) I remember when I was in college in the early to mid 90s that all my friends were getting married, but some are now divorced and onto number 2. Also our generation can plan on living to at least 100. Many life insurance policys list benefits to 99 now. So getting married at 30, you still have an expected 70 years to go! Any way wanted to comment because I love your site and wish I had been as frugal during my college days. Keep up the great work! You very wise at such a young age!
