    That wealthy bar maid story is a joke. She leveraged two massive mortgages and her parents had to bail her out for a $30,000 repair. And that makes her savvy? Sounds like at least one house was a terribly misinformed business decision. it’s not building your family’s wealth if you can only generate positive cash flow by depending on them and getting $30,000 bailouts from them. On moneyville, it was also asked how much of her tips she’s declaring if her income is so low…

  7. Thanks so much for the mention FT. I must say, you pick articles from our site I wouldn’t think would be your cup of tea, but hey, you continuously surprise!

  9. My post today was a response to the “Wealthy Barmaid” story (albeit, not a nice one!). There are just sooo many flaws in her method.
