Just to add some even greater examples:
My grandmother came from India alone with 4 years of education (grade 1-4) in her teens. Her school didn't even have chalkboards--they wrote in the sand. She speaks 5 languages, is financially successful, and raised 6 children.
Her second cousin (by law) came from India with about the same level of education. He sold his lumber milling business for over 200 million dollars about 15 years ago, after starting it here in Canada and building it over the decades. I don't know how much had to be paid in loans, but he's still mega-loaded.
