A trailer? I thought it was a 3 walled cabin and you walked to school 3 miles uphill, both ways. I'm worth 21 million and I like to hang out of CD forum to meet interesting people.

Great. Good thing you've just met me, a man worth $22 million who has a great investment opportunity for you and my fellow CD millionares. DM me to learn more.

Today, I am worth over $20 million. Screw the hippies camping out and protesting AMERICA. I am a "a 1% ter'. To hell with the lazy bums who did not sacrifice and work as hard as I did. Choices in life have consequences- go to hell.

I did not become successful by camping out with dirtbags who are supported by daddy's money and complaining. You should have made better decisions in life, particularly when you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You are the dregs of the US and an embarrassment to the principles of a work ethic. Get a job, you bums.

Signed- A "1% ter" who did not have nearly the opportunities you lazy and ingracious dead beats had.
I think I can speak for most anyone here that none of us have contempt for someone like yourself that became successful through perseverance and hard work. The contempt belongs to the crooked bankers.

Been an executive since his first job out of the army and his whole working life....but He's NOT worth even close to thinking about that much. Its not choices you made, nor hard work....its simply dumb freakin luck....but then I doubt you would spend as you do on this site, if you were 20 mil rich. You would have WAY to many other things to do! Or should have.
Well, apparently, according to the OP your husband is a lazy good for nothing drag on society because he doesn't have 20 million. If only he worked harder...Kudos to your husband by the way. That's tough work to do.
