I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth into a three decker in Boston. Just a few blocks from the projects. My father managed a hardware store so the day I was 14 I applied for working papers to work with him for 85 cents an hour. After he died I drove a cab nights to put myself through 6 years of college. It took 10 years to pay off my student loans. Since Jr. high there was only one place I wanted to work. After college I got a job there as a temp. 34 years later I own the company.
It was all a lot of fun. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I did inherit plenty from my family, just not any money.

BI- that's a great story. All opinion differences aside, what you've done is quite remarkable and a great example of living the American dream.
