well I came to the conclusion long while back I must be mad. Well Kate, I suppose a person seeking a bank business loan based on breeding N.African Hairy-Footed Gerboas, may have the edge on any Flamenco based project. LOL! Thing is, we can all think of good business plans, but if that's not what you want to do with your life then they are worthless. Making money is a necessity in life, but sometimes folk are mistakenly led to believe in making money as a goal. The fashion in oil-rich Aberdeen used to be cars, house extensions, conservatories and very expensive exotic holidays. Now the latest fashion (so I'm told) is to brag about how much money you lost in the Casino last night. Yet the same folk have huge mortgages, credit cards with £20,000+ owing on them, expensive cars bought on HP and countless store cards, so they can keep up with the latest styles. What these guys do is take their present income, anticipate future pay rises and then multiply it by their expected working years as if it's going to go on forever, looking at the total sum as their present net worth! I've lived here for a good while now, and regulary see that it only takes one slump in the Oil price to see all the redundancies and all the insolvencies, marriage breakups and misery that follows. Here today, gone tomorrow. They'd be far better buying a guitar and taking on the challenges that has to offer. Or just doing something their heart tells them to do. Much more rewarding IMO! cheers Ron
