If you could talk to your 20 something year old self....

[JAJH]

I remember an old mate of mine at age 15, his father pushed him in to buying a block of land way out the back of nowhere.We thought he was crazy of course, spend your money on girls, booze and cars we said...but no his Dad won. He ended up marrying a girl who worked for the bank, got a ridiculously low mortgage rate, that block of land is now a high value suburb in Melbourne and he had his house paid off by age 30!

Me... At 21, I was a young copper in Melbourne, so I thought I had my head on straight, however I soon realised the girls loved a uniform. I was always told one of the three "P's" will get you. P.i.s.s, Property or Pussy. The last one snagged me. It's tough to knock back a good looking sort who wanted you for your brains! 33 years ago (I'm now 57) I married that one and when I look back, I wished I hadn't. However, I got 4 great kids who have all become decent adults, none have ever been in trouble and now my own grandkids. The ex-wife on the other hand...she made my life hell for a lot of years after divorcing her. Other than than that, I wouldn't change much at all. I haven't made a bucket load of money, but who cares? I'm not broke, my health is good and I live in the best country in the world in sunny Qld with all my kids, grandkids living close by and 2nd wife who is way better than the first. What's to change?
