      It's not modesty, it's financial literacy. The Strad is smart as hell if you haven't worked that out already ;0)
      Warren Buffett started out at 11 yrs old with like 100 bucks. As he famously said in an interview if you would've invested that 100 bucks in the stock market back then (some 70 yrs ago?) and left it there, with an average return of 7% per year, today that hundred bucks would be worth almost a million, and that's even with all the stock market crashes. So how much is spending nearly ten bucks in Starbucks every day gonna set you back?? That's almost $70 per week, almost $300 per month!!

Seeing you grow has been an honor, and seeing your transparency and your motivation has rubbed off on me and so many others in the best way. I am 24 now and following my dreams and I have you and of course many others in my life to thank you for helping me and inspiring me to continue pushing myself to my goal of owning an exotic car collection. I hope that one day I get to meet you and thank you for inspiring, motivation and being a genuine roll model to millions of people.
    I only wish you the best and even more of a bright future.
    God bless you Strad. I am glad your hard work payed off and I hope that many people can agree with me.

Thanks be to God, my wife, support from friends and family, I was able to get with an awesome tutor and passed the second time around. I'm now at a firm that I would've never imagined being at and have my door dash mask in my office as a reminder. Great work as always Grahm.

      I asked what she was eating, to hear the usual college stuff Ramen noodles. Why are you eating that crap, because it's cheap was the response.
      I purchased for her, a cappuccino/espresso maker, some half&half and ordered some coffee flavors sent to her dorm room. Holidays and events for her, I'd re-up the flavors and some dark roast coffee and she hadn't drank Starbucks again until she graduated with her doctorate.
