I am always inspired with rags to riches stories of individuals I read online. They really take pride in the achievements that they have attained in their lives. Someday I want to have my own rags to riches experience to share wit others. At 28, I am still a struggling employee trying to make ends meet. I have involved myself in online jobs to get extra money. I am also thinking of other ways I could do to get extra income. Life has been really tough for me. I have a kid, I'm overflowing in depth and my life seems to be in a mess. I hope I can get back on track and share to the world how I was able to get up and reach the top.

Hi joiemarvic!
I'm sure we will have our own time to share our own stories. Like you I am on the process of achieving my dreams. I am working in the government and I could say my childhood is not a good one. I came from a very poor family but it does not stop me from achieving my dreams.
However, my achievements in life is not yet complete to be called rags to riches story so I am still on the process.
Good luck to all of us!

the stories of rags to riches are inspiring and motivating for those who are still struggling to have their ends meet. we all want to have a comfortable life. one way to do that is to free us from day to day work which only pays dfor our daily needs. i think all stories of this sort are about creating business and pursuing their interests through that business. the thing is that i am not a business-minded person.

The good thing that I find in rags to riches stories is the discipline to be able to maintain the abundance they are experiencing. I also admire how brave they are to have a paradigm shift in their thinking and mentality. Hope you can share your rags to riches story too some time. Make it come true.
