I'd say a man who married a chemical engineer from Exxon Mobil and who owns two badaas corvettes and two homes and is able to pay for his sons to play hockey all over the US and Canada may have some wisdom to impart. I'd say his wife, my aunt, may even have more to share. It's not like I'd be moving to help support a household or that my performance would influence them in any way. When my parents were separated he owned, bought outright, two brand new corvettes. In addition, owned two boats, and a car for my aunt. They don't hurt for money at all. It's more about giving me a chance and a new start and less about an investment.
