A Proud Moment:
My proudest ever "richer/poorer" moment was saving a couple thousand dollars in grade six from helping the school stamp textbooks and working a couple of paper routes, and then helping my father pay off the mortgage on the modest condo our family had lived in, and had the opportunity of buying a couple of years after coming to Canada, as refugees with naught a penny to our names.

Your memory sounds like a lot to be proud of. You must have been a serious and committed kid.
You're a fine man John!
Value of money...it shows through and so does value of being a good person..
For richer and/or poorer
i like your answer and description here. i reminds me that having a 'rich' life also means being an inspiration and hope to others.. i think true richness is compassion.
congratulations on some amazing accomplishments.....
