Awesome, with care, planning, preparation and perseverance you can make it happen.

From everything I've read and heard from other investors the thing that separates the successful from the unsuccessful is the ability to persevere through tough times.

Through hard work and perseverance I was able to earn my bachelors degree without scholarships/grants and only cumulating about $15k in student loans.

However, I am quite confident that it was a GR8 amount of hard work and  perseverance, getting knocked down but getting back up and having a never quit attitude that has built what you have over time.  

I personally am a proponent of serving in the military; both for patriotism and to pay for your education. it will provide a strong base and work ethic fir your entire life showing you that you can persevere mkre than you would have ever known.

You just need to have perseverance and the ability to find resources and network of qualified people to help where you lack.... for the moment.  

Also, so much of success is based on personal perseverance; don't get discouraged when you read comments on here that are negative.

The strong why for me provided tenacity and perseverance no matter what. 

I guess you could say all of them could be the best investment depending on many variables, market conditions and effort, starting capital, paths chosen within each investment vehicle, but if i had a gun to my head and had to choose, i would say that real GUTS and perseverance and belief in ones self would trump a college education any day.  

Perseverance.
