    ...or I might buy a cab company. My own personal taxi haven.
    Living for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.
    It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
    Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

    Quite like to purpose build four state of the art pensioner complexes one in each quarter of the country, to show the Govt how its done , where wardens would REALLY check on each person each day INCLUDING weekends , there'd be facilities for your pet within reason, and as well as normal entertainment and facilities and usual maintenance ,Id have 24hr wandering ontap helpers to open containers, tune your tele, fetch chips if fancied, put your bet on, give a hand with paperwork,post your letter, put your eydrops in, lift down your spare blanket, and generally have the time for a chat!!
    Run out of money in months, but some ideas may rub off. Dreams are brilliant.

    You could give it all away to different causes,good or otherwise depending on your view point. Or you could argue with family and friends about who gets what. Or never buy a ticket so you wont have a problem then.

    I agree. Another reason why I don't buy lottery tickets. I can't help think of all that I would lose should my numbers come up.

    Espedaire Street by Iain Banks is well worth a read. The main character earned his money, but he still doesn't know what to do with it, and it doesn't make him happy.

    Me, I don't want a fancy lifestyle; I just want to be able to afford the one I have now. :-)
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.
