Wow, that is amazing. You paid for your education even though it started when you were 5 or 6 years old. How did you earn money at 5 years old? More strange, you claim you were married at 5, and able to pay for a wife's education. We might be crossing into 12b territory, so I will just say I do not believe you.
I believe you either got a public education paid for by the taxpayers, or less likely got a private education paid for by your family. You may have paid for some later education, but the majority of your education was not paid for by you.
There are no "self-made men" just some assholes who refuse to be grateful for what society gave them, and are trying to get out of paying society back.
