People see my home (it's nice) and assume we're made of money. This happens especially with younger guys. They see where we live and assume that we have so much money that I want to supply them with beer, food, and cigars every time they come over. One even told me I was "spoiled".

What I not-so-patiently explain to them is the fact that my wife and I built this home in '94, did much of the work ourselves, and have been working steadily on it ever since.
