My father is a millionaire, a woman he dated for six years (so sad when they broke up) is a millionaire, my father's business partner/friend is a hundred-millionaire. Then there's the multi-millionaire I worked for in NYC who changed my life...

Those are the millionaires I've personally known/know in my life and every single one made the money themselves. The hundred-millionaire grew up in poverty. Between the lot of them there was only 2 luxury cars. NYC guy had a Porsche I never saw him drive once in 18 months and ex-gf had a BMW X5 which she eventually traded for a Prius.

Basically all just data points that conform well to what you wrote.

I enjoy your stuff, Tim.

Thanks for letting your passion shine through. May it start to shine through concrete walls too. I hope it irradiates a few misguided green-back-zombies up there and converts them into think-mode, then convert-mode. Imagine they storm around spreading the cure ... One can hope and dream!
