I made it by getting lots and lots of education and putting my doctorate to use. I lost it through illness.

So sorry to hear that gg.

I haven't made my money yet, and don't think I will. I got my BSc late in life and live in a country where I can't use it.I get by doing English lessons. Mind you, I spend a lot of money going back and forth to Canada.
And, luckily there is no ban on alcohol so we've got some money set aside from the bar.

You earn it. That's what making your money means.

Kami's question was, "How did you make your money?" She did not ask the meaning of the phrase "make your money."

What money?


I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Ask a lawyer, I'm sure they'll find some somewhere.

Question authority, before it questions you. How do you know, that you know, what you know?
