I was truly unable to appreciate this fully until very recently, and thought I'd share some of the incredible advantages that I once took for granted here today:- Ability and comfort to open a bank account, write a check, and manage money online- Ability to obtain a credit card, debit card, and to access ATMs- Ability to prepare a budget and earn a regular paycheck- Ability and comfort with discussing the concept of "investing", much less specifics of real estate investments and terms like "ROI"I'd encourage anyone else who feels frustrated with their current financial position to take a moment and jot down some knowledge or advantages that you've taken for granted.
