Buy and maintain the Ferrari is 5 points ... Two marriages are 10 points each, but fairly swift ... Drug and alcohol addiction will and can suck up millions and just keeps on taking ... 50 points, these can be a long term draw on assets. ... And you can't even put a price on the emotional damage of family and friends, some other addictions are a close 2 nd ... So they get the last 25 points.
I once lost it BIG on roulette at a casino on the equator, figured it would spin the other way negating my run of crap luck. Oh well. I once put money on a cannibal to eat someone alive within 30 mins to no avail. He didn't get the t-shirt nor his photo on the wall. Cannibals LOVE the idea of naming fast food places after people in the U.S. Harvey's, Wendy's, Carls Jr...etc. So, just what did you two do with the bag of money Prince Hakeem gave you guys? Reading FChat is priceless, one never goes broke. You failed to invest in the other Cavallino Rampante at the time. The Pony. Look at where Hyundai is now! Transfer that to Bitcoin. You should have sold when they told ya to "Cell, Cell, Cell!" Zoinks! Try buying a Trabant in the old USSR. My hunch is on Shanty Towns to start gentrificating. Better than having the People For The Ethical Treatment Of Albinos coming after you. THE ultimate diss to the alligators down there. Watch out for PETA. Yeah I keep divorcing myself from my money. Its getting expensive. Ooh, I should ship you some Colin Chapman inspired "Add Lightness" graphic tees to your Jenny Craigers! You missing any? I've got Enzo's right leg... Third times the charm or was it **** happens in threes? Mini was Soooo early this morning. Tea Cup Coopers are all the rage now.
Me too. Followed up with a taste for very attractive ladies who are really bad for me. I quote John Lee Hooker... "I spent all my money on whiskey and women. The rest I wasted."
Plastics. Oh, and Trail-Rated Alpaca Farming. Arms dealing is still doing good, though... painting on occasion helps with supplemental income - my be able to offset losses from Alpacas & Plastics. Time will tell. Looking into 3-D-printed graphene F1 engine blocks next. I think that could be a potential goldmine.
Silver subscriptions to F-chat. Had to cut back from Rossa a few years ago to save money and postpone the inevitable. I can struggle by a few more years if the kids skip college and go straight to work.
Indiana University and Thomas Cooley Law School. The good news is she graduated last month cum laude with a job to boot.
I took Mr. T's advice: If you believe in yourself, eat all your school, stay in milk, drink your teeth, don't do sleep, and get 8 hours of drugs - you can get work! **Hoping someone gets the reference**
Buying individual health insurance policies for my family over the past 6 years. High premiums with poor coverage. Not a good combo. .
After putting 4 kids through college, throwing weddings for 3 daughters, and paying 1/2 the son's wedding, and then the housing industry tanking for 5 years, we are building our way back up to having a retirement fund. Thank goodness there has been a housing boom around Dallas for the last 5 years, so they need those new sewer and water lines quickly. They will never lay a sewer line over the internet. And I follow my grandad's motto: "Ain't gonna be no U-haul behind my hearse ". Just hoping there is another 2-5 years left in this good run, and I will give the next generation their chance. Being a 3rd generation guy, we usually screw it off, and almost did this time. 4th generation is in place, and we are staying lean and mean.
Simple! Indulge your passion, and dedicate your life to flying. Buy a complex plane that you can't really afford, and let it drain your assets like a high-maintenance woman. Involve yourself in a number of aviation-related enterprises that make some money but nowhere near enough, just to salve your conscience for spending so much time in the air. A wise man once said, "You can make a small fortune in aviation! That is, if you start with a large fortune." Dave Keith, ex-Helio Courier owner
