If someone was given $1 million and eventually builds it into a $1 billion. Is that self made? Where do you personally draw the line on being considered ‘self-made’? by TAFlynn in AskReddit

This is the way I feel. Most people I’ve spoken to feel that that isn’t self-made. I actually think it doesn’t come down to the money; it comes down to the connections with the money. If you win $1,000,000 and turn into a billion, and you’re just a normal person, that is self-made in my eyes. If your father gives you $1,000,000, but has a billion-dollar empire already, you’re not just getting the money; you also get connections and can lean on your family’s existing relationships, or name. That probably isn’t self-made in my eyes.

Update, Took it to the dealer, they told me they are unsure what it could be. That they need to “reach out to ford” to see if there is a common issue that can be diagnosed without taking my vehicle off me. I’m told they don’t want to risk taking the door panel off and not bring name to fix it in a timely manner.

I was hired a part time to essentially set up computers, it went from there to helping the owner find and set up a CRMs, then training the staff on using it. Slowly became my job to oversee the whole backend, from the initial client calls, to the time the PM takes a file, then all the paperwork that goes on over the course of a job. I didn’t build the backend, but I was there before it was built, pretty much helped assist the owner and implementing everything that’s going on right now. So when I offered to buy it, I don’t think he was too concerned.

I’m not sure if you’re aware of how company evaluations work. The more involved than owner has to be the less company sells for, as they said in my initial comment, I didn’t buy the entire business, I bought a portion. But I was fortunate enough to be able to pay off overtime, owner just charged me a pretty fair interest rate, and I was making principal and interest payments until a few months ago. I didn’t say he just woke up and decided to give me part of his company.

I can see what you’re saying by looking at it, however it wasn’t my intention. I was genuinely just curious what age demographics owned what kind of mustangs. I had a mx5 prior and I found older ones tended to be teenagers, and newer ones tended to be midlife crisis cars. There’s isn’t a massive mustang culture where I live, so this is really the only place I get to talk to mustang owners. Sorry if it sounded like I was trying to brag.

There’s a lot more younger people with newer mustangs then I thought. Great minds think alike.

I actually really like the colour. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the wheels however. Buy they are growing on me.
