All we need to do is just listen to the guy who not only paid for his house by the age of 17, but worked his way through college and gave his sister advice that helped her become a millionaire. He retired at age 22 and ridicules the rest of the country for being so damn stupid. He's a genius. Just ask him. The ones who had their 401(k)'s stolen, their job eliminated or sent overseas, lost their home after their company went under, got sick and couldn't afford the treatment, had a child get sick and couldn't afford the costs, had their hours cut, or took a job at half of what they made before, well, those are the weaklings and the brainless, according to the boy wonder I'm referring to....I think about 20% of those who SAY they have extra cash are lying....
