Your Parents, Success or Failure. Options

[Consynx]

Be as harsh as you want...their your own rents.
but im curious, how many of your parents are loaded, how many are broke as sh*t...and just all that jazz...

That's all..

well my parents came to this coutry the way most hispanics do (they came from El Salvador) crossing da RIO GRANDE and well my dad i would consider to be a success....he was teh second oldest of his 10 siblings and his father was murdered by corrupt police..so he came to the US (with $20) to try to make soemthing...he lived in DC for a while in an unairconditioned apartment...sending most of the money he got from working construction back to his mother and his bros and sistas...he saved up some money and finally one by one brought all his bros and sisters and his mom to america....my dad did not even finish high school..since his dad died while he was onlyu 12 he had to take responsibliity (his odler brother was off gettin bytches pregnant) My dad married my mom and they had me..we lived in a ghetoo area of Langley park...my dad after years of hard labor decieded he needed to do better...so he left the company and started his own....keep in mind thast this is without ever finishing high school, without that good of english speaking skills...nothing...but somehow he made it and im not saying we are rich...but we are good and stable...i have to younger sisters and we live in a home worth $400,000 now plus 2 other homes we have and the busienss for a total of about 1 million in assets...my dad turned $20 into $1 mill i think thast a success
(my mom cleans houses which helps us pay for groceries)

i think he rasied me right cause im doing teh same thing...im at university of maryland where hispanics are like 3% and doing fairly well..not to mention i just got my real estate license and wil begin to sell proterites in the upcoming year..with my dads construction company adn my license we will be able to buy damaged hoomes and fix them up and sell them for $$$
