  On a serious note, in the early 60's, his yearly wage was less than $3500 a year. And even with 4 kids, he bought a brand new house, and two cars. Later he bought a gas station down the street. He sold that a few years later[0] and bought an auto repair shop. Sold that in 1983 for $200k and built another shop that is still in the family. I won't say how much I have in savings, but it is somewhere between $10k and $100k. And it feels completely useless. I work hard for the money that I make that can't buy anything. Perhaps I'm jealous, but seeing someone who knows nothing sit behind a desk so they can enforce/make "regulations" while milking a pay check tests my Christianity.
