Agreed 100%. You either go to school and use that money to gain knowledge, friends and life experience or you never see the money in the first place. At age 29 I STILL don't have that kind of money sitting around to invest. How would an 18 year old kid get access to it?
Also, that $10,000 for living expenses is a static cost whether you go to school or not. So the number is really somewhere closer to $64k.
