And ended with this...
In just one short year, July 12, 2005 to today, July 12, 2006, 26-year-old Kyle MacDonald of Montreal, Canada has traded his way from a single red paperclip to a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom, 1100 square foot house. A link to his blog, One Red Paperclip, has been on my own blog for a while now, but since he has reached his goal... I will be removing it. But his feat will be immortalized in my archives forever (or until blogger ceases operating).
Kyle is almost 27 years old. He has been on Good Morning America, CNN, and as of today is a homeowner and honorary Mayor-for-a-day in Kipling, Saskatchewan, Canada. I will be 25 very shortly, and am unemployed, moving to a new town with pretty much just the clothes that I own, and no prospects. Way to make me feel like crap, Kyle.
But anyway, congratulations on your sucessful trades! I wish you the best of luck in Kipling... doing whatever it is that you will do there.
