Plus money... that buys QOL, either now or later your choice (bid down now for time off, or work hard and FIRE).
Another consideration. Year 1 legacy giving up 4 or 5 vacations. Year 2 give up 2 or 3. Year three another 2 or 3 ect…. Never making those days off up for a career. Not to mention none of the legacies were able to get to 5 credit per day. It’s substantially less days off till 65. Not my choice just reality.
