I couldn't afford to lose it and backsided myself. It wasn't all my doing, as my father has been investing in the stock market for many years. He was my inside track through his investment club that we purchased the stock together. I think he bought 30,000 shares.
I had to do some fancy footwork to be able to get the shares hoping it might pay off. Yes it was a gamble. But it was a gamble that my ultra conservative father put his approval to and was willing to help me out if I tanked. Lucky for me. Yes.
But life for me is at times about taking a risk. Those who know, know that taking a risk is what made them so successful if their life.
Now everyone keep this quiet from my wife as she doesn't know I mortgaged the crap out of the house to get this and I want to get her a nice 10 year anniversary gift next year.
All quiet plzzzzzzze
And you might think that not telling my wife is an issue, but we'll just leave that to me and her and the fact she's getting a nice gift from it.
