Fortunately he got terminated, whew!

The first couple of times I didn't say much but on the third time when nothing had been cleaned I told her 'No'. What a hissy fit. ''I know how to manage my time' she ranted.
'Actually it's my time. So if you want to do your own thing you can bugger off and work for yourself. '
Few expletives from both of us. She didn't do it again, but Italians to love to have some of that Med temper about them.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Originally posted by doodab View PostI've never had the time or capital for day trading but I made and lost several tens of thousands in the dot com frenzy.
Overall I made more money at online poker, once I learnt to stick to the low value tables and play the numbers. It's a lot of effort for not much reward though.
Both of these are very competitive , and quite risky, so although there are a few people who do very well most people don't. I am of the opinion that it's better to seek out a less competitive niche because it's easier to make money at it.
Personally I don't bother with get rich quick schemes any more, I would rather channel my efforts into making something I can sell & grow that into something that provides a living & generates a bit of surplus for long term value investments.
He told me if you go into business, you can only get rich if you 'steal' money from other people.
Don't pay your workers what they are worth, don't pay the tax man etc.
If you are in business and pay everyone, you will only make a good living.
Why be in business with all the problems and risk if you only make a good living, you can work for someone else and make a good living without the problems and risk.
At the time I was a partner in a business employing 16 people, I am not the type of person to steal, so within a few months I sold my share of the business. No regrets.Fiscal nomad it's legal.Comment
