    TIL that collage stole from my wealth, my life and my future

    MINDSET 
    I am in an interesting position, because in my country college education is free (payed by taxpayes, so not really free - but to no imediate debt to you), if you do it right after high school. So I went to enginering college, which took me almost 5 years to complete. To my unaware slowlane...

    19 years old Italian student. I hate mediocrity

    INTRO 
    Hi everyone, my name is Pietro, I'm 19 years old and I come from a small city in Northern Italy. I don't know what I really like, I have a lot of passions, but I'd say that the biggest one is to learn things about every kind of stuff. I've learned English, almost all by myself, in order to be...

    Opinion: Skipping college is not going to make you fastlane

    HOT! 
    Over the last 6 months I have read a lot of comments condemning college and associating it with the slow lane mentality. Why is this? I understand the hate for college debt and the increasing cost of education. Is it the systems fault though for these kids to take out huge loans on shitty...

    Graduating soon, at a crossroads

    Hey all, I posted this in another subsection of the forum, but I thought this subsection might be a better home for the post. I just finished up The Millionaire Fastlane, and I don't think I've ever read a piece of literature that spoke to me more than this book. To give you a brief...

    Graduating soon, at a crossroads

    INTRO 
    Hey all, I just finished up The Millionaire Fastlane, and I don't think I've ever read a piece of literature that spoke to me more than this book. To give you a brief background, I'm a math major at a top state school in the US, graduating in December with a 4.0 (which I'm aware in this forum...

    starting with a small business

    EXECUTION 
    Hey everyone! This will be my progress thread to start a small business while still in college. I have read TMFL and know that my business violates several CENTS criteria, but I just want to get started with something! It is basically just a renting model, where I rent out something that...

    First Greetings

    INTRO 
    Hi everyone, I am Marco Clark Pretelin. Thanks for reading my intro! I'll try to keep my story concise and pertinent. A few years ago a friend recommended I read TMF, so I did and it helped my confused mind a lot. At the time, I was about a year into recovery from my traumatic brain injury...

    Ended Up in University: I Regret it Already

    RANT 
    So a few months ago, right after high school, my parents kind of "persuaded" me to go to University (crabs in a bucket mentality, once again). So it's been 3 months now and I feel like my life SUCKS. It feels like I'm wasting my time. I believed I could both study and run a side-hustle. I was...

    How not to get ripped off going to college...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Uh... study something in demand? A specialized skill?! Drop the liberal arts BS and go study something that has a marketplace demand! Fastlane economics are the same as job market economics. Once again, study something that gives you a specialized skill with a NEED! Demand! Value...

    Looking for advice

    Hello everyone. I've never done an intro thread, so you know nothing about my situation: Currently, I'm in college (3rd year of five) and since I read TMF and Unscripted I've done practically nothing (action-faking). Probably because I'm comfortable with my situation, I never worked and never...

    University as a Fastlane foundation

    Hey guys, I know this forum probably isn't the best place to ask for college advice, but I still decided to post this anyway, since I would like to get some advice from people with similar mindset, or maybe from someone who was/is in a similar position. Thank you in advance for your advice...

    Paying For College (Fastlane Style)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Recently a number of threads talked about college from different angles. Is it good or evil? Worth it or not? A government mind control conspiracy? A corporate money scheme? This thread isn't for that. This thread is to discuss college from a Fastlane perspective. Hopefully we can answer...

    Fastlane as a CS student. How do I maximize my time in college

    Anybody here studying CS in college? I recently transferred from Mech Engineering to CS just because I think you can fastlane it better. Any advice for someone who's going to be stuck in college for 3 more years. I'd also appreciate some discussion in this thread to the amount fastlane...

    MINDSET RANT 
    Hey everyone, A little background about myself. I have been on the forum since October 2015 and this year it will be my 4th year anniversary for being a lurker. To this day I have never given my mind a chance to get the taste of business and have let the fear of the unknown deter me from the...

    The Open Source Computer Science Degree (By ForrestKnight)

    Came across this on my suggested feed, thought some people on here might find it useful. This video/course has no affiliation with me at all but seems to be a huge amount of free value compiled in an easy to follow layout, so thought sharing could be helpful to some. ForrestKnight has compiled...

    Scholarship

    I have been presented with the opportunity to go to a specific college in the USA via a government sponsored scholarship to complete a bachelors degree in a field of my choosing. Should I take up this offer? Should I pause my fast-lane business setup for this? I've made 0 sales thus far, but i'm...

    GET TO COLLEGE! (Because I failed at business.)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Here is my perspective. I think that if you're unsure of what you want to to do with your life, you should go to college until you figure it out. I love MJ's book, but one issue I have with it is his hatred of college education and getting a job. The millionaire fastlane claims that there are...

    Hi Fastlaners, Since my last school exam ended about ~8 days ago, I've been swimming deep in the mindset of the Fastlane, while executing as much as I can. Despite the short time, I've learned so much about myself, the lifestyle I am pursuing, and gaining a clearer sense of the clarity of...
