Back to lighter issues...

OK, so, I am tipping Obama to win the US election. I put all of my Nadal winnings on this at 1.49 which is still available at Betfair this evening.

The title of my blog describes exactly what happened to a friend of a friend of a friend.

The man (aged about 60) who sold his house for £1M was stitched up a treat by the Estate Agents (who sold it for £2M seven days later) and quite literally couldn't live with himself. He committed suicide.

I am also aware of someone who had the chance to sell his dot com business for £1M (sterling) and ended up selling it for £1 a year later (the buyer had to take on losses as part of the deal).

This person (aged about 35) managed to fight on and has had to build a new business from scratch which just started to look promising, but now we seem to be heading for a huge recession again...

Taking the above into consideration kind of puts a few things into perspective.

i.e. There are more important things in life than money!

Having said that, this is meant to be (mainly) a fun blog group with ideas for making money. I just wanted to put in a bit of balance.
