Scrooge was I believe about 10 years old when he made his first dime (Old Number One) and he emigrated to America 3 years later, leaving behind his parents and his two little sisters. I dunno, I imagine that despite being the persevering, determined and bold McDuck that he is, I'm sure that Scrooge was probably even a tad bit afraid of leaving his family and going to make a living for himself. He had to grow up quickly due to this. I also believe that, being the last male of his clan, he had a lot of expectations set upon him, which for any child, will feel heavy at some point.

And the only thing he had to keep his hopes up was his Lucky Number One Dime, which he eventually built his empire on.

While I unfortunately did not have the pleasure of growing up with the Uncle Scrooge Comics, or any of the Disney ones, at least not until I was a teenager (my mother introduced me to her favorite series at that time, being Uncle Scrooge of course), I did do a lot of research into Donald and Scrooge's backgrounds, and I really want to purchase the Life and Times series eventually. They've got such a beautiful storyline to them Carl Barks and Don Rosa's stories were pure genius.

so yeah. Have some Young Scroogey
