Absolutely, we have told the next generation you can have what you want, you just have to ask.

The Sharks are circling to supply the money, who is at fault the kids who think all they have to do is ask, or the parents who try to make life better for their kids?

I have a son who was a great saver, married a woman who was a great spender, now they have found something the both want, they find they have no money.
Probably the wrong thread, maybe should be in dump it here

World commerce will not occur if everyone's a tightwad like you, and me, Homer.

I just spent about 3 days with my brother building "only" a few rows of bricks 'cause I thought it's a waste to pay $500 for the pros to do "only a bit of work".

For a bum like me it's not even worth it. As it turns out. For my brother who earn that much in half a day in the shade... I'm surprise he still like me.

There is nothing wrong with that, the son I was just talking about, will have to sell a duplex half I told him to buy, when he was an apprentice 18years ago.
I said we can paint it up and sell it, all profit, he said the accountant told him it was a good tax deduction he still owes $60k, it cost $64k, 18 years ago.
Do I have to feel sorry, no, but I will go over there and paint it out and clean it up, because that is what parents do. Yes

No it hasn't gone backwards, I was annoyed he let some F$^ck wit accountant, talked him into not paying it off.
He would have $60k more equity and free title, I didn't realise you wouldn't understand that, my bad.

Here is the maths, he is a smart kid, I said you need to leave home and build your own nest, you are on $30k/PA as a third year apprentice buy this house for $64k.
He says o.k dad, then the little head takes over, he has paid nothing off the principle and has been earning $150k+ for the last 15 years. FFS

We no longer need parody accounts on social media, as is is impossible to tell parody from real life.
