A short monologue-style YouTube video (by Mark Evans DM) that contrasts being ‘rich’ with having ‘wealth,’ asks viewers to define what ‘rich’ means to them, and recounts the speaker’s start of a business in 1996—buying a seamless gutter company with $1,000 down financed at 6% and repaid at $287.44/month for five years (loan came via parents).

How did I get so rich? Truth is, rich and wealth are two drastically different things. And it's very relative. What does rich mean to you? When you ask someone that question is that 100,000 is a million. 10 million. 100 million? A billion. 10 billion. What does rich mean to you? Start understanding what your words really mean. Secondly, I started 1996. I bought a seamless gutter company for $1,000 down. I had borrowed the money from my parents and paid $287.44 a month for five years. That was what the guy financed me. I just asked. I simply said, hey, would you finance me? He said, actually, I will, at 6% interest.
