Buffett's inspirational story: 15 years old is higher than middle school teachers' income

After the summer vacation in 1945, Buffett was 15 years old and entered Wilson High School, starting in the 10th grade, similar to China's high school, from a middle school student to a high school student. Don't look at other people, but it is already the boss.
Little Buffett sent a three-year report and has already smashed more than $2,000. At that time, gold was 35 US dollars per ounce, calculated at the gold price of 1110 US dollars in early November 2019. In the autumn of 1945, Buffett’s 2000 US dollars was equivalent to more than 60,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 400,000 yuan. Buffett sends two newspapers every morning and evening, working for only about 2 hours a day, earning $175 a month, and earning more than his middle school teacher's monthly salary. In 1946, an American adult earned $3,000 a year, which belonged to the high-income class.
Buffett put the money in a drawer in the closet of the house, and no one is allowed to touch it. One day his little friend Battis went to his house to find him to play. Buffett whispered: "Man, come, I will show you." Open the closet, open the small lock on the drawer, and see a thick stack of banknotes, most of which are small denominations.
Wow! This has three or four hundred pieces.
Oh, I counted it a few times before going to bed every day. Tell you, 708 blocks.
Ah, you are too rich!
Little Buffett smiled: This is just a small amount of money, and my big money is invested.
Investment? What kind of investment?
My dad opened a South Omaha feed company. Not long ago, he opened a building materials company in partnership with Mr. Fogg in the next door of the feed company. Dad asked me to buy shares. I am the third largest shareholder.
boast. You are just the smallest minority shareholder.
Hey. My dad bought a piece of land for me. In our home country of Nebraska, 70 miles from Omaha, I was forty acres. I bought it alone, buddy, I became a landlord.
Ah? Will you plant the land?
I will not grow, some people will plant. I rented it to others, collected food and sold it, and I split it with him.
On the first day of high school, the teacher in charge of the class gave a lecture to the whole class. Everyone took turns to introduce themselves. It’s the turn of Buffett. He stood up without hesitation: I am from Buffett, Nebraska, and I own a farm near Omaha. The whole class was in utter disappointment. The person is as thin as the monkey, the neck is as thin as the stalk, the sneakers are broken like the ones to be eaten, and the people are ashamed to be like the little girl. How could this buddy be a farmer?

Although he earns more money per month than his teacher, he has saved more than a few years of college graduates, but Buffett, who is only 15 years old, spends less than anyone else. Wearing shoes only wear those tennis shoes that are broken and have holes. They are sent to wear clothes, go to school, and play with classmates. Sometimes school meetings have to wear leather shoes, but also wear a pair of old shoes that are worn by the soles. It is even more unbearable to wear yellow or white socks with glare.
My sister, Doris, is two years older than Buffett. She is very beautiful. She came to the bustling capital of Washington from the remote central agricultural area. She was more fashionable and was invited to participate in the French Embassy’s birthday for President Truman’s baby daughter. The celebration party was included in the top ten of the “social socialite rookie”, and it is a famous class flower school flower in school. She walked through the campus and the rate of return was one thousand.
But our school flower is most afraid of meeting my brother Buffett at school. My brother made her very embarrassed. Every time she met a little tramp like a little girl, she turned her face and pretended not to see it.
