How many Jamaican multi-millionaires you can name that are not politicians nor individuals that are always mentioned in the business news, involved in entertainment and heirs/heiresses? (List them in the comments section)
Now to get where I am coming from. Can a taxi driver who is dedicated to his profession be a millionaire? Damn straight he could be! But can he really be a millionaire if every time a passenger of his pays with Jamaican one dollar coins he aggressively and disrespectfully refuses to take them? To the point of blatantly telling the passenger to pick out the one dollar coins and give him what remained.
I immediately thought about the "Chiney" (Chinese) businessman and how he is regarded by the average Jamaican citizen. If you never know, it is common for them to say that the Chiney man will always have money because you can't owe him. My favourite is when the Chiney man supposedly says "pay me the $5 and owe me $500 because the $5 is the profit".
Seriously people, you have to accept, save and spend any type of currency
no matter the value and you too can be a millionaire.
