I admire your determination and drive!

I admire your ability to reach your goal at such a young age! 

Your perseverance to pursue your calling (even though it took a long time and required a ton of hard work) is admirable!  

Dave has helped folks get out of CC debt and has a ton of admirers for that.

In order to invest in a place where appreciation is a big factor, you would need to accumulate several years of savings because property in those areas are much more expensive that 36K.I admire your conviction though and if that is your path then by all means stick to it.

I admire your parents for being very frugal and love the fact they won't buy anything unless it's heavily discounted  or  a tremendous value, because that's how I usually live my life.

Despite my location and great reviews, I was receiving repeated cancellations, within seconds of booking confirmation.To be honest, up until the last few years, my name had gotten me nothing other than admiration, pleasantries and kindness from every kind of stranger.

@Blake HendersonFirst off, I admire your candidness - it's not easy to admit to your financial picture on a public forum, with your name and picture next to it.
