For the second year in a row, the New York Times presented the best college essays from incoming freshman on their relationship with money. Last year columnist Ron Lieber asked high school seniors to submit their college essays that specifically addressed class and money.
It’s difficult enough for adults to discuss class and money, so imagine how challenging it would be for teenagers to open themselves up about the subject. Money is an even more complicated thing these days as the moat between the haves and the have-nots widens. These essays are honest and remarkable; hopefully, you’ll click through and have a chance to read some of them.
This blog is about living and investing simply. With respect to money, I am reminded of the quote: ”There are two ways of being rich: One is to have all you want, the other is to be satisfied with what you have.”
