I am the same way. You know, I was told that I would see money differently once I got into the stock market and I didn't know what the person meant when they said that...but now I believe I understand. You have to take 'stock' of what you have every day and be appreciative of it and sympathetic towards those that have even less than you do. I already have a list of charities that will benefit from my stock when I do. I don't have much now...I clean houses for a paycheck while I fight my way through school, and my bank account doesn't have much free rope to allow me to invest in stocks, so I have to be judicious in my picks and understand that I can't invest in everything just yet. I have to pick the best ones, like I believe PSPW is, and be patient. The rewards will come. I may not have $50K, $25K, or even $5K to invest for greater rewards like a lot of people here do, but I have something..which is more than a lot of other people have. It is a privilege to be here.
