I don’t particularly agree with this advice. I know a CS graduate from my state university who is underemployed two years after graduation (works at a coding school for kids) whereas my son’s NU CS friends have very good jobs, some of which were offered by co-op employers. Everybody spends their money differently, i.e. BMW v. Toyota or fancy house vs modest house. We chose modest house, cars and vacations and spent money on private colleges for our kids. No regrets and they are doing great. To each their own.
