we get in such good debates in the A/R lounge that id just like to know some peoples background. Examples are: what do you do for a living, what kind of schooling, and what kind of family did you have growing up.
i think it would just help with the debates if we all knew where the other person was coming from, i guess ill go first
I come from a lower middle class family with a father that doesnt know diddly crap on how money works. My parents were divorced when i was in 3rd grade. Father makes about 45k a year and thinks he's rich he's also a acoholic, but dont even own a home. mom makes about 20k, but owns here house, and still has all the money and then some from the divorce (about 14 years ago) and is a manic depressent
My dads side id consider low middle class i guess average combined salaries of around 50 - 70k.
My moms side id consider all over the place but definatly alot smarter then my dads side average combined salary of 90 - 240k
I was expelled from my high school, got my G.E.D. the very next day. now i own my own business, and am starting to dabble in investing. at 23 years old i make about 50k a year or and so far every year my business has almost doubled, ive been in business 2 years, so this year should it should start being fun lol. I have never tied cigs, rarely drink, read a whole lot about money, investing, and real estate.
