My Dad always says "If you earn money, its your duty to spend it!" What are you going to do leave it in the bank. If it makes you happy then so what....

I've had a ton of money in the bank, and I've had a porsche, when buying the 993, I had to decide that the Porsche just makes me happier.

Does it really cost a lot? She Who Must be Obeyed said to me that Project Orange must be costing HK$200,000 (US$25,641). Now that would be a bargain. For once the dumb shmuck that I am when it comes to women did something out of their book - when asked a question they do not want to answer, smile and change the topic. Everyone is happy that way. My problem is that I am not good with figures. Did I do accountancy once? Can't remember. And there is my other problem, an early onset of Alzheimer's - just can't remember those unimportant small things like what I spent on the Ninemeister +3 kit. Just trivia. What price can be put on a great vision and a man's dream? What price do you put on such great fun? The only other thing which gives me this level of pleasure is karting. Reminds me of a line from a favourite Aussie movie, The Castle, which goes something like "There is nothing like the smell of 2-stroke in the morning."

If you can spend it, enjoy it.
