Interesting. so what you're saying is: you don't understand a word i've said, so you're just going to make something up.

Meanwhile if American students take the risk of getting an education and it not panning out they have to pay back every cent. Alphamale you're a joke! Your posts are not backed up by reality. Only brainwashed fodder. Keep drinking the kool aid buddy!

Read the green first, then apply that to the red.

You just perfectly described my situation. At my business' current growth rate, I'll be in the top 5% or so of income earners within 5-6 years. I literally put every cent I had (which wasn't much, at all) into it less than 4 years ago to start it up, and I'm currently working 70+ hours per week and don't have health insurance. I sleep about 5 hours per night - sometimes 6, if I'm lucky.

The other part being that one can be in a position to lose and not be bankrupt, while another may lose everything and be labeled a loser all his/her life.
