I guess I’m what you would call a bit of a nerd. At least that's what the kids at school told me. I am Neil, so my nickname of course was nerdy Neil. It was because I was curious about everything. I just wanted to learn, so I asked my teachers lots of questions. My life wasn’t that great to be honest. But all that was about to change! I was about to become super rich! The day my life changed start...

Dating is not easy and breaking up is even worse! After sharing my life with Sarah for one year she decided that relationships were not for her. What kind of woman allows you to introduce her to your friends, family, co-workers, ancestors...well maybe not ancestors...then to say that she was not ready to be in a relationship? Hey, my name is Dwayne and boy do i have a story for you. After breaking...

“Mom, tone it done.” I begged. “TONE IT DOWN? YOU NINCOMPOOP! Do you think that it’s free to send you to school? That I just have a bunch of money hidden somewhere and I don’t mind wasting it on you? I buy you designer shoes and clothes so your friends don’t make fun of you. You have all the books you need and an expensive Mac computer or whatever it’s called. You show me NO gratitude!” she scream...

Being born into a poor family really sucks! You go to school, get good grades and then go to a job that barely pays you enough to meet your basic expenses. I would often dream of things I would buy such as cars, houses, clothes, shoes!! If only I had a way out of this paycheck to paycheck lifestyle I would take it in a heartbeat. Dave and I met at the mall. I was purchasing some new work clothes w...

I waved goodbye to my grandma as she departed with the nurses to go to a care home. “I’ll come to visit you every month,” I told her and she gave me the sweetest smile ever. I loved my grandma a lot. She had looked after me all my life but as she grew older she started getting health issues. After that, since I was still a minor at 15 I had to move in with my nearest kin and I had only one, my mot...

I was never the type to fawn over boys. When I was little, I ran away from boys on the playgrounds and thought they were “yucky”. Every time I saw a couple kiss on a movie, or be so in love they ached, I would cringe. I was actually beginning to think I was incapable of being into anyone, because they all looked so bleak. Then… I saw him. It was as if the world around me stopped. I saw him walking...

If there was such a thing as the world’s worst dad award, my dad no doubt would be the one to get it. He was the most selfish, self-centered anti-social person ever. My mom was out of the picture ever since I was not even a toddler which meant it was just me and my dad. And no, I didn’t have any chance of doing the usual father-son stuff with him like playing baseball or watching football together...

I wasn’t really very close to my parents when I was growing up, they never really had much time for me. I used to wonder what it would be like to have a mum that would bake cakes with me or take me to the movies, all I ever heard was “Go to your room, Ella, Dad and I are very busy.” Mum and Dad were always huddled together, whispering about something. If I walked into the room they would stop talk...

My life is the epitome of a cliche. I grew up in a small town with both parents. They were best friends with the neighbours next door. These neighbours, you guessed it, had a son named Chad. Chad and I knew each other since we were babies and our parents have the embarrassing pictures to prove it. We eventually started dating during highschool. I can't remember us ever having a fight and I love th...

“Dad could you stop trying to control my life?” I complained for the millionth time. “Troy, I’ve already told you that you’re too young for college! Now stop bothering me and go play with something in your room.” my dad replied while walking away. Although I was only fourteen, I was done with practically everything on the high school syllabus. But yes, I was still in middle school and bored out of...

I haven’t always been a genius. I used to be just plain old Jake, 10 years old and not really that clever to be honest. But that all changed the day I took part in a scientific experiment. You see, my Dad is a really mad scientist and I persuaded him to let me help out with his experiment. Little did I know my whole world was about to change. At school I was one of those kids who went pretty much...

We were the three J’s, a bit like the three musketeers but a lot younger. We all lived in the same street and had been friends all our lives. We did everything together. I’m Jane and my friends were Jack and John. We thought we were really cool calling ourselves the three J’s. I honestly thought we would be friends forever, but then the unthinkable happened! I remember that Sunday morning as thoug...

“I got the promotion! I got the promotion!” I yelled into my phone as I shared my great news with Jessica, my girlfriend for the past two years. “That’s wonderful baby,” Jessica replied. After coming off the phone with Jessica, my boss, Mr. Billings, gave me the details of the promotion. It meant that I would be heading a new branch of the business in another town. My new employer would be Mr. Rod...

Hi, my name is Alexis, and when I was 13 my mom forced me to become a parent. You probably think I’m lying, but it’s the truth. Growing up, I remember having a pretty normal life. I went to school, hung out with my friends, did homework - all the usual stuff. But then, when I had just turned 12, my whole world came crashing down. My parents were getting a divorce. I first found out that they were...

I lived in a mean neighborhood on the outskirts of a town with my parents and my elder sister Trinity. Both my parents were very smart. They were college professors after all. But my sister was smarter than them both, combined. She was the brains of the family while I was the exact opposite. I was more of a potato. “Charity, your sister has the greatest IQ in the world,” my dad told me one day ind...

I was a total dreamer. My head was always in the clouds and most of the time I was thinking about the perfect relationship. I lived, breathed and ate soap operas and I had billions of love songs saved on my computer and phone. I read nothing but Romance novels in class and most of my teachers were frustrated with me for never paying attention to anything they said. I was too caught up in my fantas...

My Dad was one of the kindest, most genero...

The word “no” made me a millionaire, and if you don’t believe me, keep watching to figure out how it all happened. Usually these stories about how people become millionaires always start off with the people claiming they lived a poor life, t...

I hated going to school. My life was miserable, I couldn’t help being a computer whizz kid could I? I was a 14 year old boy with zero friends. All the boys in school thought I was a nerd and bullied me. So I decided I would take matters into my own hands, that's why I decided I would hack into the school’s database and change my life. It was the last day of term, the end of the school year. Finall...

Snip! Snip! Snip! The sound of the scissors cutting my long black hair echoed in my mind. This was the moment when I turned into a boy for money. My parents forced me to do it. “Charlotte! Charlotte!” my mother bolted through the door one afternoon. I was sitting at the dining room table helping my seven-year-old brother Jayden with his home-work. “What’s wrong mom?” I asked, startled by her sudde...

Hi! My name’s Abraham and I’m sixteen years old. You might think that my name is quite old fashioned and there’s a reason for that. I’m Amish. I was born in a village in Pennsylvania to a loving mom named Hannah and a strict father named Isaac. I have ten other siblings and even though we lived a simple lifestyle, we were quite happy. We didn’t have electricity, running water, or the internet. It...

Mrs. Davis was the best mother a girl could ask for. She would always tell me the story of how she found me. She said one night right before closing up she heard the sounds of a crying baby. After searching, she found me wrapped in a blanket in a basket. The only things she found in the basket was a locket and a note asking her to take care of me and the name my mother had chosen, Brittany. One af...

I was at a bank with my mom, and we were taking out some cash because the next weekend we were gonna go on a trip to the countryside. M...

What’s your favorite food? Let me guess, pizza, dumplings, tacos? I mean those are the kinds of food that people normally like. Some are a sweet tooth and prefer ice-creams and cakes and some like savory food. But I, well, I like eating money, in fact, it is my addiction and to be honest, I cannot go even a single day without eating money. Weird, right? I know, but there’s a long history to this a...

Do you know the kind of movies where the babysitter is a psycho? Those movies had traumatized me since I was a kid and because of that, I had no interest in having a babysitter whatsoever. But no matter how much I resisted, my parents got me one. They were busy, hard working business people and had to stay out of the house most of the time so I had no choice but to get a sitter even when I was fou...
