hmgRock,
Go-getters will go out and make money wherever there are opportunities. Whether that is overtime, side hustles, freelance, investments, etc. You act like just because a person said that they do this, then that is all that they must do.
Apparently, you're a one-trick pony and you keep bringing up your wife as if we cared. The salaries for nurses only went up because big pharma, insurance, and the medical industry want to keep Americans sick so they can profit from it. Good for her for taking advantage of the system like a lot of other Hmong. What Hmong isn't going into nursing or pharmacy these days?
Or how about this - what Hmong isn't opening up a home health care these days?
Some people have over half a million dollars in cash, million dollar+ in investments, and so forth, but who is bragging?
The American Dream is right there if you want it.
