You don't get rich by working hard, not in America anyway

[Tsiyu]

64. You are so adorable

But someone needs to inform you: there is no ladder anymore.

And I'm happy, thanks.

I own my land, my car, and no credit cards. I grow my own food, raise my own chickens (for eggs) and I don't want to be rich.

I have six kids who between them have: a law degree, a masters, a BA, one graduating next year from college who is continually making me very proud to be her mom. Another has gone to college but is an awesome musician, another has a nice nest egg to attend college when he graduates high school.

I didn't do much to help them; they did it mostly on their own. But I can't promise them that this fantasy ladder you speak of is available. It isn't.

But you're so darn cute with your preaching, sweetie, it just makes my evening!

All hail zoechen, who lives in some alternate universe!!!!
