careful what you say about Grant, he's a Psycho !!
when he fixes his glass eye at you, comes racing at you in his wheel chair, his one arm flapping in the wind behind him, you're gonna know the meaning of fear.
Sorry about the hijacking by the way, back on track now ...........whatever you decide to do, DO it !
I can remember 15 or so years back, writing out a business plan for acquiring buy-to-let apartments and houses. This was way before the term had even been invented, let alone become a household phrase.
One thing led to another and I didn't follow through with my plan.
Had I done so, I would be seriously well off now I think.
Another example of short-sighted youth - when I was 19, just finished my trade training and was about to be posted overseas, i came across a beautiful cottage, deep in the heart of leicestershire hunting country (the Quorn for anyone else who hunts) - roses round the door, little front garden directly overlooking a huge reservoir. Picturesque and quiet in a totally rural wee village, yet within 30 minutes of Leicester and Nottingham (you're right - so what ! :clap: )
The house was a steal at 5,000 pounds, but on condition the old lady who lived there continued to do so until she popped her clogs and her mentally disbaled son was shipped off to a special hospital.
Being young, I just couldn't see the point of spending 5 grand (about 3 months wages then) on a house I couldn't occupy for maybe 4,5,6,7 years.(even though I wouldn't occupy it anyway, me being in barracks)
of course that wee cottage is now worth upwards of 400,000 pounds ....
moral of the story, well two morals: seize every opportunity even while you're young, and don't let other people pooh pooh your ideas ......
