Respectfully, I must disagree. I’ve met a few members of nephew’s circle. I remember in particular the gal who graduated from UC Berkeley with a computer science degree. She seemed … very bright. Her boyfriend from Georgia Tech was no slouch either.The spreadsheet and the long list of suggestions is way way too detailed and you are likely to overwhelm him and cause him to miss the main points which can fit on an index card.Here is the spreadsheet.
Now I would agree that this slate of advice is too much to take in during an after-dinner conversation. Said conversation was the factual genesis of this thread, with nephew taking me aside afterward and imploring me: “Uncle, you have to write this out where I can read it at leisure and think about it. Do it someplace where I can send a link to my friends.”
These folks don't have any difficulty handling complexity. They simply need to be briefed about all the arrows in the quiver, which ones are armor-piercing, and how marginal tax rate determines the tautness of the bowstring.
