Once they're paid off, it'll be extra income to save for my retirement and to build a real house. I doubt I'll stay at my current job for much longer, but I'll surely have another job to use as my main source of income.

I hope you don't plan on doing the duplexe thing for "easy money" if you are you are in for a rude shock. That WILL be a full time job. And you will probably keep a another full time job at the time. Of course if you DO do that within 10-15 years you will have a nice nest egg. I am assuming you plan on keeping investing on the stocks. Good plan. Just try to keep looking at the big picture and don't give up half way through.

I went right into college after high school. It was what I was programmed to do from an early age. Blew my first year of college and $10000. After some time off, which was needed to apply some place cheaper, I resumed, only transferring 18 credits from that $10K.

Good advice to learn from. I followed the beat less (more?) travelled and took a year off. My dad has freaked on several occasions. But now I am set on going to college this fall and know what I will (probably) major in.
