    Lol, nice start to the story. That's the exact same thing I say to strippers, when I only got two bucks in the pocket.

    Lol. Its like that commercial about a year ago where the girl was meeting a guy who said he was a french model on his dating profile, and he shows up with a beer belly and fanny pack.

    Why would anyone leave the Eudora /Dumas/Lake Village area? It’s beautiful.

    Why on earth would I lie about something like this?

    I have a rich father and currently drive a truck for a living. His money is not my money.

    It may come as a huge shock to you, but not every son and daughter takes the easy route by living on their parents money/financial power.

    Yes, he's loaded, but so what? What i have worked for may pale in comparison to what he has, but at least i earned every bit of it on MY own and it's a great feeling to know that it was ME that bought it without someone else buying it for me.

    There are three ways of teaching a person how to swim, you can toss him in the water and hope that he makes it, you can get in the water with him and hold his hand until he’s ready to let go, or you can hire a professional swimming instructor to teach him the proper way of doing it.
    My wife and I agree that the third way is the best and that is how we raised our only son. Private schools, tutors, and now University.

    It had me going at first, but then the OP went on about his dad and sisters, and I was like, woah, this story is bogus.

    Whether or not the OP's story is true, (I hope it is) really doesn't matter.

    The real thing to take from this thread is just how many people would rather take the easy way out, or mooch off of someone who actually did the work and succeeded. And it's really sickening
