[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 849453, member: 6543"] I would tend to agree with that last statement. Many years ago i worked for a man who was a self made billionaire. he started out dirt poor so he was grounded. He is still alive and I saw him on TeeVee this wekend so I won't name him. But at the time I said that I did not think I would want to trade places with him. When he was shaving in the morning he had to warn himself that someone was going to try to take something from him that day. I saw him receive with strong reservation, every greeting, handshake, comment or suggestion. His trust had to be earned over long duration. this was all a product of being taken advantage of by alleged friends. everyone wanted to be his friend so he would support their scheme or project or them. His few true friends even got pressured to twist his arm for money. I am pretty sure that he was not as happy as I was at the same time and I was just a notch above flat broke. [/QUOTE]
