Guess I’m just one of those ‘useful idiots’ who thinks that by working hard, I can get ahead. So far, it is working out that way. I come from the lower end of middle class. I’d put myself at significantly better off than my parents, with real prospects that I could one day be wealthy. I’m neither dumb nor lazy. I paid for my own college education by myself, saving all the money I earned since I was legally able to work, working full time in summers and nearly so in college. I excelled in my science and math majors because I worked then—and still do—almost all the time.

So you’re one major illness away from bankruptcy.

Congratulations on your achievements to date.
