Sometime in the investment blogosphere; it can give us some insight into lesson on what chained baby elephants can teach us about childhood poverty into full grown adult on wealth and financial independence at our 40s, 50s and 60s.
The difference between personal poverty slavery and financial independence and feeling of financial and retirement adequacy is simply vision in our mind.

In Uncle8888's generation; many of us are from poor family living in one or 2 room rental flat and purchasing TV set on 24 months installment. At that time owning TV set with cash payment was a luxury item which the real poor couldn't afford it.
