I wanted my daughter to graduate from college debt-free, so I bought a storage unit business. It paid for her entire tuition.

• I always wanted my daughter to go to college and graduate without any student loan debt.
• When it was time for her to go to school, we didn't have enough money for her tuition.
• I bought a storage unit business, and it became so successful that it has paid for her full tuition.

Storing other people's shot glass collections is not what I dreamed about doing when I was a little girl.
