[quote=Anonymous]When I got married, my husband was a young Navy officer and I was an IT project manager. I made more than double his salary. A month after our wedding, my MIL gave us stock certificates she had in her possession. We put everything into Schwab and discovered it was appx $700,000 (late 90s, just before Dow broke 10,000). I learned everything I could about investing, personal finance. Today we are debt free (have been for last 18 years). Net worth approaching $10 million. I grew up extremely poor (neither parent graduated from high school). I went to college on scholarships, loans and Pell grants. We still live well below our means and intend to pass down to our children and our alma mater. [/quote]
