That's a good article and picks her case apart well.Why do people think they are 100% in charge of their fates and opportunities from the get go? You can't help what you're born into and no one can say they did everything on their own, so you shouldn't take 100% credit either or project your own successss onto others who have had a very different first 18-20 years of their lives. That bitch had her parents flying her on overseas trips 20+ times...she had nothing else to save/spend her money on other than a house deposit.
Also, with real estate investors, just like pro gamblers, Wall Street, start up ventures and your mate who won the trifecta at the Melbourne cup...you only hear about the successful, rarely the failed. Someone has to win and someone has to lose and there's often a hell of a lot of luck involved in that.
