Lotteries or SKAs make you rich

[Francko]

I should have realised this a long time ago.

Only lotteries can really make you rich because they give you the illusion that you can always be rich. Anything else just brings you problems. House prices can go down, inflation, fear of losing your job, etc.

The only real rich people are the ones that believe they will be in the future (like AtW), not the ones that are afraid to lose what they have.

So my suggestion is to either buy a lottery ticket each week or work on your own SKA.*

It is (now) more important for me to do what I want to do rather than pure wealth. If I was stuck in a carppy job even at £100k pa then I am sure I would be unhappy, where as if I do what I want then even £20k pa would do.

SKAs?

SKAs?

We have no time to explain what SKA means to newbies. Read all the current 6600 posts of AtW and the 20000 posts on the former CUK board.

Here's a clue - A skua is a bird that goes around scavenging and stealing rotting odds and ends and then vomiting them up in digestable bits for its dependents.

Lotteries give you an injection of cash; there's no ongoing income. If you wanted to live a "rich" lifestyle, how far would £20m cash get you?
