All of Life’s Problems

“To alcohol! The cause of… and solution to… all of life’s problems”

Matt Groening

Dad used to give me generous pocket money until he got me a job in Tesco in Baker’s Arms, Leyton, London at age 16.  I quickly fell in and out of debt but realised that no money meant no girls and no fun.

The cause of…and solution to my problems has always been money.

Obsessed with balancing the books

The biggest thing I worry about when it comes to money

Actually, it’s probably the fear of not having an income, I have been working for over 32 years straight.

I wish Subject H would take care of money for me

All my life I’ve wondered what a luxury it would be if another human being could take care of things for me like Dad did.  Just give me an allowance to spend as I like.  Unfortunately, no one like that exists in my life.

Whenever I think about money and finances, I feel

My situation awareness has always been pretty sharp, typically using accountant tools to create a balance sheet. I use it to avoid panic and sentimental ideas.

I’m on the defence right now so feel nervous and angry about my negative Net Worth.  I normally avoid risk but my warning, to those close to me, was ignored so now I find myself in exactly the position I was scared of.

The most expensive thing I want is

I think a new car is top of the list. Not sure what type or in which country.  Well, actually,  I want a car in Florida, London and Vienna.

What I find interest about money is

it’s ability to take me to new worlds and meet new people

 

What scares me about money is

The fact that people judge you by it and make so many assumptions

If money were no object, I would

Take care of family and start my own Crew.

The one thing holding me back financially is

Supporting others

If I had $100,000 cash I would

Spend 1/3 on air travel and clothes

Spend 1/3 on cars

Spend the rest to clear short-term liabilities

The one thing in life I’ve never done because of money is

Spend more time with family
