Ups and Downs by Thesis Your Life in 150 words writing prompt entry |
Born to poor parents in Paterson, NJ and educated by the Jesuits, I obtained my MBA. Married the girl of my dreams at 21 years old, worked 7 days a week, had 2 amazing daughters, amassed some wealth, but had to travel 95% of my time internationally for 30 plus years.
Gave back to the community in money, and later, time. Helped family with financial issues and got caught up becoming the one needing help. I trusted an attorney who led me into a mortgage debacle that cost me to lose my $775,000 home. No one was willing to help me. Years later, the state settled the RICO case (over 100 homeowners affected), we were awarded $5,000 for our $775,000 home. I suffered credit issues and the stigma of bankruptcy for years. My wife of 42 years and I recovered. We now have a small Townhouse and can smile again.
