A friend of mine who works in a company that manufactures medical devices and testing kits recently bought a 18 million dollar house in our town. This was a guy who made six figures, but whose rise to fortune seemed almost too good to be true.

I inquired about how he was able to do it. His response was that his company, which normally sells Troponin test kits (used to detect heart damage) banked record profits in the last quarter and he got a 60 percent pay raise.

Just thought I'd share.
