Uh Oh. Unpaid bills = Red Flag. When you hear that about a listed company - don't walk, run! 🏃 |

How do you think billionaires become billionaires? By not paying their bills.

How do you think billionaires become billionaires? By not paying their bills. Knew a bloke (he was only a millionaire not a billionaire) and he would have his bookkeeper write the cheques to pay the bills and then put them in his desk. When the bookkeeper asked don't you want me to send them? He just said. if they want them they will ask for them. |

They say the first million is the hardest - so I am skipping that one and going straight for a second.

That's nasty news to hear, Jorgs. Anything you can do? Intervention order, elder-abuse or sim?

Our daughter ( a registered nurse) took out an IVO against her mother. Our previous lawyer practically forced us into signing away most of our rights. Our current lawyer thinks that because we invested 2/3 of the cost of the house then we will come out far better financially than our daughter. The major hurdle is that we have been told she has severe bi-polar but will not admit it and just rejects all offers or compromises. Thinking of a case of Elder abuse and family violence also human rights abuse but will wait until after the court case before deciding. Major learning curve for us and the main thing we have learnt is workplace demands can cause mental problems, and if you lend a family member money, make sure you have a legal document describing everything and protecting your investment.

I agree with properly signed documents, we have been lucky but I do everything "by the book" (operated too many businesses to do otherwise) but with 10 kids, 35 grandkids, and 23 great-grandkids we have only ever had to drag one into court. I am lucky too that the kids and their friends have always thought I am "scary". I don't know why all ever insisted on was doing the right thing by each other, but I have also been known to administer physical therapy and now even at almost 80 they are all still spooked about getting into an altercation with the old guy. I did some sparring with grandkids and their friends but most won't do it they still think I am too fast. |

Three cheers for old guys!!! Saw a joke yesterday that went " Never piss off anyone over 70 years old, because at that age a life sentence means stuff-all" |
