$800? That is $ 800 richer than me when I came to the US.

Heart touching story and congrats on many of your achievements.

I share the same story and same watch.

You had NO money - that's a luxury.

I owed money when I got here.

Got the very same watch. My favorite! Great story by the way. Saving for one of these babies is not always easy for many but is a proud daily reminder of our days hard at work.
