It's becoming tabu
|
Itâs a constant. When you talk freely about money youâre critized. And not just from Spain, the country that is a fiscal hell but the paradise of criticism and the prosecution of the rich, no⌠Itâs everywhere. Itâs becoming a kind of tabu. Look. The world is full of people who say, "money isnât important". Good for them. But I think they donât know what theyâre saying. They just say it for the sake of saying it. Itâs a clichĂŠ. If they stopped for a moment to think, they would realize that money matters to them more than theyâre willing to admit. For money, they spend a large part of their lives doing things they deeply hate. So Spain is a poor country, or Spanish people poor in mindset. And itâs a pity, because some of the stories I tell in the book below, that money made through smart investing, are in Spain. And if you can make money there⌠trust me, you can everywhere. â

Kenya. A known highway. The Review Procedure. âDisagreements will be discussedâ Literally. Good luck with getting a solution. Discussing can be the more frustrating of...
These days Iâm enjoying some interesting stuff. There is a clause. In particular, 13.3 of a project agreement. âForegone Toll Income & âMutual Agreementâ Extensionâ** I love the title. It deals with cases where the government prevents the toll road from charging the approved tariff. Then, if this happens, logically for political reasons⌠The government must either: Compensate the monthly Foregone Toll Income, or Grant a Concession Extension, the duration of which must be mutually agreed If...
These days, I usually panic a little. Just a little. Not because of the âsocial commitments.â And not because of the alcohol⌠which, letâs be honest, doesnât do your health any good whether itâs âonly one,â âonly two,â December or June. No. Itâs something worse. Much worse than overeating and overdrinking. Queueing. For me, queueing is more terrifying than being forced to watch an entire season of Big Brother. Nothing good ever comes out of standing in line. Nothing. Maybe disappointmentâŚ...
