My mother in law started working at 18, no college degree, for a large corporation as a secretary.
My father in law did have a college degree from a 'lower level' college, and worked for a major corporation followed by only barely solvent small personal businesses.
They lived simply, saved money, never went out of their means, and I have recently discovered they are in fact multi-millionaires. They are the quintessential millionaire next door.
Perhaps they needed to read more books by unsuccessful men on how they were brutally stratified, unable to succeed, and held down by the system, but instead they worked hard, invested wisely, saved their pennies, and now are set to live a very nice long wealthy retirement. Needless to say I turn to my father in law for investment advice.
I really wish I knew what Amerika some people here live in, because I've never seen it.
Perhaps my father was right when he told me the problem with people who read all the time is they never do anything.
