"Too many definitely come in with a feeling that they have been promised effortless wealth and when it doesn't happen, think they have been played."

Thanks again sir for contributing value to this post!

P.S. Working full time and with a family, this is the first opportunity I've had to reply. Thank you for your understanding this delay in following up.
