Although, my profile says I'm unemployed I am working on my degree in business finance, so please don't get the wrong impression :)Everybody on the site seems to be very knowledgeable and friendly so I can't wait to jump in and learn how to be filthy rich so I can afford to send my 3 kids to Princeton, Harvard or Yale.I look forward to talking with everybody!
