Ok I'll accept that. Some people are just happy the way they are. I just don't like seeing people sell themselves short if they're capable of much more.

I make less than 30K per year. I don't have a rich daddy or a trust fund. I just bought my first home. Everything I have I literally busted my ass for years to get. BUT, what I lack in $$$ I make up for with learning everything I can and a huge amount of motivation.
