“I struggled all my life to find direction because my interests were limitless. I have traveled MOST of this once great nation and met 10's of thousands of people. I've worked everywhere from MicroSave’s Microfinance to banking to digging ditches (literally). I have had money and I have had love...but I earned them. I asked for help when I needed it....but I did WHATEVER it took to make it. I now stay at home and run my own firm so I now live on a VERY limited income. And while it is true I wish I had more money (for peace of mind...not toys and "things") I am content!!! Money cannot bring happiness but it can however reduce the stress of how to pay your bills. Don't think for one damn second I'm not part of the "99%". But unlike these pukes that think they are entitled to something...if I need or want something...I earn it!!!”
