SIMPLE TO FIGURE AT 8% YOUR MONEY DOUBLES EVERY 9 YEARS. I was an OVERNIGHT SUCCESS-IT ONLY TOOK ME 45 YEARS. In 45 years your money WILL or in your case WOULD HAVE doubled FIVE TIMES-10,000 (1)=20,000(2)=40,000 (3)=80,000 (4)=160,000 (5)=320,000.
WE ALL HAD CHOICES. I had a friend WHO THINKS AS YOU DO. He always told me I AM CHEAP AND HOW I SHOULD SPEND MY MONEY. Long story short. He always drove a nice new car. He wore a nice expensive watch, shoes etc. HE LOST HIS HOUSE TO FORECLOSURE. HE STILL HAS NOT PAID ME THE THREE THOUSAND HE BORROWED. LIKE YOU, HE VOTED FOR OBAMA AND OF COURSE HILLARY. LIKE YOU HE TRIED TO CALL ME EVIL,RACIST, NAZI. The truth, is is worked damn hard, I saved RATHER THAN SPENT. FRANKLY, I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE WHO THINK IT WAS EASY AND I OOOOOOO UUUU.

SORRY I AM PROUD TO BE DEPLORABLE-IT ONLY TOOK ME 45 YEARS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT.
