As for the label "conservative", I would consider myself very conservative when it comes to my work history and the 'pulling up by own bootstraps" metaphor... definitely not a "fortunate son" here as the term seems to imply... raised by a single mom and went to work right out of High School... but I do consider myself fortunate in many ways... some of it may just be luck... but one thing I did was always saved my money, whatever job I had... from early on I wanted to invest in real estate, not as a get rich quick notion, but as an investment to 20 or so years down the road I didn't have to work for "the man"... also, the stock market didn't treat me badly But it wasn't until I was almost 40 yrs old that I finally splurged on a vehicle that was not a Toyota pick-up truck, and I'm not talking about the big ones they have today that are basically luxury vehicles... how's that for conservative?
