I am 26 and I am proud to say that my first car was a 87 Buick Skyhawk.......i think i had to donate that car cuz no one wanted to buy it... 
I have been on my own since i was 18 and have paid my dues to get to this point in my life. Me and the wife have great jobs and we can afford good things by the grace of God. I am not a success story and I still think we have a long way to go and learn. I think ANYONE with determination, some sort of skill/education and most of all confidence can make it. Also i agree that money does NOT make a man but you need it to survive and having some fun never hurt anybody

, and now into land - wow. Any tips on what you look for in land? I'm considering getting some more (I live on 8 acres) but don't want a big headache or expense to 'maintain' the land.
