Hmm. I have to seriously wonder if this forum is REAL...LOL
Well, I think I kind of glad I'm not in EXACT same boat as some of you.
I'm what you call a Princess of Industry. When I was a child my parents could provide almost anything I wanted (without having to choose between Pop's riding camp and the light bill). Luckily they taught me how to live the same way on my own. So now at my tender age of...(not going to tell you)...I am able to afford wonderful clothing, shoes, handbags, and a descent apartment with my OWN paycheck. I have mutual funds, stocks, and two savings accounts. I'm working on getting a Business Degree so that I can own a company BETTER than the one I work for. I'll let my daughter run it when I'm old so she can be a P. O. I. too.
Unless I am depending on myself, I don't expect ANYTHING.
