Yeah, I started in a family that worked in a cotton mill.

And, I am wealthy now in the scheme of things.

And, if anybody is young and will do what I tell them they can to.

If they are young and do what you tell them they will be on some government assistance.

And, your dumbass is telling me about economics.

As for where I started...I was an orphan mick adopted by Jews. A family where my father, who's father died when he was an infant, had a stick that he pretended was a boat and played with it in a Chicago gutter. He told me it was his favorite toy. He took that stick and worked it into his own manufacturing business that employed several hundred people. Those Jews, eh? So don't presume to lecture me about meager beginnings.

So you're wealthy, eh? Maybe you want to compare portfolios? Diversification? Asset allocation? Tax strategies? Retirement withdrawal planning? I don't think so numbnuts.

And...is anybody supposed to understand exactly WTF it is you're talking about:

Ya mean, "...what they can do?" maybe "...what they can too?"

I'm gonna take a wild guess that you're originally from GA what with the cotton mill reference and the fact that you don't speak the language very well. If you're gonna lecture anybody in investment strategies, ya need to figure out a better way to make yourself understood.

Oops. Should have played it safe and linked YouTube.
Thank you for the correction.
I was playing off of Rob's Mathew 16.26 reference.
