Did your Mom and Dad give you advice on how to budget ?

You don't own anything not even your body and skull, you just live in it rent free for a short time.
If you stop wanting to own and accumulate you will be much happier in life.

Even now at 61 I couldn’t live with such a lack of ambition Des.

I’ve always needed goals.

At the moment I’m just about to embark on something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time.

I’ve just agreed a deal to buy the little house my one nan lived in in Harrogate and where I spent so much time as a kid and in my youth.

It’s quite run down now so I’m going to gut it and make it pin sharp and then use it as a holiday home for my family and rent it out on an AirBnB basis.

I cannot fully explain the sense of pleasure and joy this mission is bringing to my life.

I just like moving on to the next goal, I’ve always strived in my own small way.

Stop swimming and I’ll die......like with a shark.

Hi Mick pleased that you have got your Nans house.
With regards to your Dad,did he keep his Yorkshire accent when he moved down here.
Although my Dad left home at 14 to join the army and never went back home apart from visits , he still spoke with his Mansfield accent
