Hello all! New user here (high school senior)

Hey everybody. I am a high school senior from New Jersey. I joined WSO because I am interested in business and finance (possibly consulting). I figured it would be good to start thinking early about my future so I can be well-prepared following college. I applied to a lot of schools and I have gotten into and will probably attend Washington University in St. Louis. My interest in finance comes from my mother's career. She was formerly a managing director for a ratings agency and now works as a university treasurer.

Welcome, by the way.

Holy shit, 1995... that's so messed up. Now even I feel like a geezer.

"Yes. Money has been a little bit tight lately, but at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I gonna be thinking about how much money I have? No. I'm gonna be thinking about how many friends I have and my children and my comedy albums."
