[QUOTE="JB Books, post: 1936662, member: 6889"] I was broke, put myself through law school with a part time job and student loans. Ended up owing $196,000. Got out, passed the bar exam the first try, and busted ass. Had a bad partner that caused me headaches and cost me money. Just worked through all of it and built a pretty successful practice. Had my loans paid off fully in less that ten years and am now fairly secure. Having a lot of money sometimes brings its own set of problems, particularly when friends, family or employees feel they are entitled to your "help." It is really disappointing and disgusting when you see how people try to take advantage simply because you "have it." However, the flip side is that it feels good to be in a position to help someone you want to help. The best you can do is the best you can do. I try to avoid people that judge others about money (some people are snobs and judge others for the lack of money, and some others are jealous jerks who judge others because they have money) and just treat everyone the same.
