You need to view this from a logical point of view. The first 11 are guaranteed. You get a laser cutter and sell it. Mentors/teachers can't be bought. Their worth is limitless. An area to work is also tough to find. Depending on what you roll, you may have to sell the CNC as well. With all that money you now have, you can buy pretty much everything else on the list. And if you have a lucky roll, you will have plenty of money to spare. Just like that you have everything on the list except for a laser cutter. With all that equipment and some smart decisions, you will have a very successful year, get a good sponsor who will buy you a laser cutter and anything else you need.
