Yes people, you are right.  All people with money are stupid.  And they just throw their money at other people.  And they are broke right away.  And no one works for their money.  And they all have really easy jobs that a monkey could do.  You happy now?

What a pitiful bunch.

My best friend is loaded (loaded) [b]from a combination of inheritances [/b]and starting her own company (that a monkey and 99% of the population does not do - she's that smart, not just text book smart, but brilliant in other ways that make her successful).

If you ask her about her financials, she'll either laugh in your face, or tell you bad information you are sure to perpetuate to your suburban neighborhood pool cronies. And we'll have a good laugh, because she would never even tell me that kind of information with any kind of accuracy (understandably).

OP, worry about yourself a little more. [/quote]

[b]She was able to succeed b/c she was able to take risks that most people who must support themselves and have no safety net cannot.  That's the secret sauce to start-up success; there are plenty of brillant people with good ideas but unable to take the flyer if it doesn't pan out b/c it would literally put them on the street.[/b][/quote]

I'm sorry, but your astute rebuttal went over my head, can you elaborate?  Being able to take the risk and not end up penniless and unemployed, how is that not an advantage?[/quote]

I'm not PP, but I'd say the reaosn is when you're hungry, you're more willing to work for it and take risks (probably more likely with men). I'm the PP who started their own company from nothing. In the early days, I _had_ to make it work or I'd be done. That meant I worked harder and longer than anytime before -- I sort of had no choice.[/quote]
