      Hi LOLmum,


      This is a very interesting question because I read this section quite a bit and enjoy reading about their success story! Seems like a lot of them make money through property and their timing seems to be always great! Most of them also loose money buying stocks and shares. A handful invest in their own business which generates money for them.

      One time, I was imagining what I would have answered should I be featured on this \"Me and my money\"? I actually wrote down all the questions and then answer them one by one by writing them down in my diary! πŸ˜‰

      No need to wait until they feature you. You can do the same too! Or you can also post your answers here for interested reader like me to read..heh..heh..
      :celebrate:
