The Bankrupt Inn (Part Three)
Comments

I do the bit about a wasted life sometimes. I had so many opportunities when younger and I blew them completely.
So instead, I have taken a leaf out of fiveyearplan's book and started my own tenyearplan! I have frequented the savings board and picked up loads of help/tips, making foundations now - back to college in Sept; stay there for 3 years or so, get a decent job with good money and perks, save like mad and in ten years I should be in a position to do something really great.
I also started volunterring - put something back and help others (and all that jazz), TBH I am not enjoying it all that much. But I have committed to the long term with it so I will slog on.
So. What are you planning on doing with yours??0 -
Well done you.....your life sounds on track perfectly
well..Looking into going back to work (NHS)
Having a son/daughter
Getting married
Starting back at manchester childrens hosp as a volunteer (radio lollipop) again
Save like crazy for the holiday of a lifetime....go somewhere where people call me sir without adding the bit "your making a scene"
Start earning enough to pay my way...not relying on nicky to fund everything
And a few years from now...buy an old MG to work on & restoreWe all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0 -

And had a thought - the not having done anything in our lives bit. Well, we are forever immortalised in the Gazette. We will last longer than the celebrity stars on broadway. When the lands erode and buildings fall, we will forever be listed.0 -
