I come from a poor upbringing and don't really have family members that have any money.

I was slow to start because of limiting beliefs about myself, based on my upbringing and what I saw from my peers (military).

Every long, term partnership I've had, however, has failed because, at some point, one partner ends up bringing the lions's share to the table...either in work, expertise, or money.

It reminded me a lot of my upbringing and the place I “ran away” from so many years ago.

I think some of this comes from our upbringing and what we’re taught or not taught and how what we saw shaped us in some way.Some of us have further to travel toward a position of financial freedom, but it is not impossible.

The conditioning of "get a degree, get a job and work 40 years and shut up" was a strong reality in my upbringing.

Realizing that most people will overstate what they offer rather than understate it, whereas I do the opposite.The first of these, I think, was imbued in me as part of my Roman Catholic upbringing.

My upbringing was lower class but not poverty.

Not only is this type of scenario conceivable, it happens (often to inexperienced investors who end up bringing their nightmare property stories to this very forum, asking for help!)

DR helped me break out of the poverty mindset instilled by my "Christian" upbringing.
