I am a 58 year old school teacher who makes a good middle-class salary. I am stable and am not manic now. That said, I have had an epiphany: I want to get rich. I'd like to make a million dollars. For three reasons.

First, I have a daughter who is homeless and grandchildren who need to go to special private schools (they are five and they can't talk). I need to take care of them, so I need to make some extra money.

Second, I have nothing saved up for retirement. I will have a pension if I can hang in there as a teacher for ten more years, but I don't think I can.

Third, I am bored. I have a good brain on my shoulders, and I think I can do better than I am doing. I'd like something that is stimulating and fun, even if I only do it at night while I keep my very dull day job.

I want to be really successful at something before it is too late. I feel like I have one last shot, but I've got to take it now. I'm tired of limiting myself because of my bipolar disorder.

If you have any thoughts on this, please feel free to share.

Thank you.
