And I did it the old fashion way, I earned it through hard work. It's a big lake. One of the things I love about it is that there are small shacks, and huge mansions, and everything in between. And it has always been that way, despite journalistic accounts of recent construction. The American Dream...and I chose to spend some of it on the shores of a beautiful lake in NH.

And I am hoping this will be me someday honest, I am working to that point as well, as age 28 I have a lot of goals, but I already have a nice little cottage on the lake, a boat and a jet ski, a home and couple of properties, would I say I am rich, now I jsut point to the 3 mortgages I have and day care bills and all that, and to those that say well isn;t that nice, all I say is well you can pay the mortgage to if you choose to and give up other things like my wife and I do. And Trust me IF the rents don't even come in it will be a very short time before I have to sell everything
Do not be asshamed you have money, beashamed if you do not enjoy your money, especially if you worked for it yourself
