At 9:14 on a Wednesday morning, an estate lawyer turns a statement around so you can read it. The total at the bottom is $6,871,400. It belongs to a man who mopped your hospital's fourth floor for fifty-one years and ate the same sandwich at 2 a.m. every night. You are the executor.
This is a POV story about Orrin Tate, a night janitor nobody noticed, and the seven rules he taught you at a bench by the supply closet: pay yourself first, own the company, reinvest every dividend, hold through a crash, watch the fees, never look like you have it, and never sell your oldest shares.
If someone quietly taught you something about money, tell me who in the comments.
