I read the FORBES article about the 60 richest self-made women. Wow. Dad thought I was sucessful, so I will NOT show him this article or he will INSIST I get married right away, even to a looser! FOOEY! I think I am successful in my own way, even tho I have NOWHERE near the weath of these women. Of course most all (other then Taylor Swift) are older then me. I love Taylor Swift, and she is more talented then I could EVER be. But KUDOS to these women for haveing acheived so much sucess. I onley wish I could find a guy to marry me, and then I would be sucessful in my parent’s eyes. For now, to them, I am just a lawyer with a good job who is still on the lookeout for a husband. No more, no less. FOOEY!
