Very nice tical! Really good stuff.

I grew up upper-middle class, but that all changed when my father died very young.

I was teaching myself programming and online applications by the early 90's (working BBS's and such) and I KNEW there was money just waiting to be made. Ironically, we were about to lose the family house because my brothers had all moved away and I absolutely had to find more work to try to stop forclosure. Was able to fend it off for a few years, although we had a month or so with no electricity which sucked bad. Plus they repossesed my mothers car during that time.

It's been a struggle for most of my life, because something just seems to always crop up to suck the savings away. My dream home is for sale right now, but the amount I need to put down is exactly the same as the amount I owe for medical bills. I make good money and save every penny, but STILL murphy's law found a way to bend me over..again.

Always something to keep the pressure on I guess. Whether it's a blessing or a curse is a good underlying question.. but in the end, having your bills 100% paid plus good investing/savings beats owing bills and having no savings anyday.
