RapidRuss/timsullivan:

Everyone has their own story and I am sure like anywhere and any forum there are people who have been given alot/everything. My guess is most guys here are hard workers and got what they have by hard work.

When I was 15 my mother died suddenly. After that my Father did the best he could be he took up drinking and various other things. He helped me as much as he could financially with college but I literally worked 3 jobs and put myself through school in fours years. The day I came home from senior year in college there was a white foreclosure sign on my front lawn as a welcome home present for all my hard work.

From that point I decided that I was going to do whatever it took to be successful.

I started my own business on my own, not one red cent from anyone, and worked hard, built the business, started another one and yes I have done very well and I am very proud of it. I own a Cobra replica, a Porsche, a beautiful boat and I have very few bills. I did this all I my own. No hand outs, no loans, no silver spoons, nothing.

Please don't be an idiot with your ignorant comments.

BTW, this is not about me but about all the other hard working people out there who just get it done and reap the rewards. People only see what you have not what you DID to get those things.

I have some issues with this Country right now but where else in this World can you do what I and many others did. Not many places I know of.
