Good job getting fired in an area with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the world. A place that actively recruits expat child molesters to fill positions.

Nice one Billybob. I could, and possibly will, remain retired and still never have to drive a dodge pickup held together by rust and dirt, or boast about having to evict scumbag tenants from my slum dwelling so the next bunch of addicts could move in. And while I look for a new hobby to occupy all the free time i'll have, you can be assured i've already crossed off the list collecting ****hole golf carts that other people have abandoned by the side of the road. So yeah you really don't need to worry about me.

The Jag is a company car so that's going back. Short term we'll manage with the Velar. No rust and no dirt because it gets cleaned daily.

That doesn't work because then you're coming down during the flight unless you buy more. For most, once you start drinking, don't want to stop. That's why people get completely plastered on the plane. They're buzzed when they get on, then buy more.
Interesting posts up above. Found a follow up video. Now I know what it was about. It was a commercial tryout.

When people have a lot of money, they use it for a cause, usually when the kids have a problem. But it seems like your kids are ok. Doesn't look like you'll give it all to a church after reading the threads here. You pass it down to the kids, but some parents are not like that. Mitch, will you help your kids buy their own place when they move out? Get them tutors for college, a car if needed?

My kids were brought up in Dubai and had a nanny since birth so they need to learn some life skills and respect for money. They haven't really done that yet. That said, yes of course we'll help them along the way like any parent would within the limits of their finances. In general Dubai is an awesome place to raise kids but you have to be on your guard they don't become entitled brats. Daughter is back in UK now at school and is very sociable and balanced. Son is a standard 14 year old boy who gives zero ****s unless it's on PlayStation but he's also a really nice, kind well-mannered kid.
So yeah they'll get a good push off in life but they will also have to learn to fend for themselves. Probably a bit more so now I retired cuppla years earlier than planned.

srsly? last time I smoked on a plane was 2008
admittedly, it was with the co pilot on a China Airways flight, he let me light up when I busted him in the galley having a sneaky one
but I remember 100% in 1994 it was still a thing, not the entire plane but there was a smoking section (with a curtain to stop smoke ) I think it stopped just after that I went to Canada in '96 and don't recall smoking then.
****, you could still smoke in McDonalds in Germany in 2005

I honestly don't know mate. Last place I recall they allowed it was casinos. Sitting at a poker table for 14 hours with people smoking was ****ing hard work. I was glad that got stopped.

Ok good. So you would see if the daughter needs a tutor for the weed out classes, and you would tell the kid he needs to get straight As in high school if he wants to go to a good college. Tell him to learn Calculus, Chemistry, and Biology now and take those classes in high school. Have you set up wills and trusts yet? The daughter will get married. You'll have to pay for the wedding and hope she marries someone with a good job. Same thing with the kid, you would hope he finds a good career, either through college or the people he meets. In the old days, all of this was planned out. People in college who get their MBAs match up at the end and get married. That didn't happen with me but things worked out. Happened with Ashley, she met her husband who is a construction foreman and it was meant to be. Makes good money, builds anything, fixes everything, smart. "The Talk" with your kids doesn't have to be about sex, but about the future in life.

Its sort of funny the dude I'm working with now was a former IBM consultant in Dubai but got 'retired' at 50. He works the phones at Macy's for customer support.

Imagine being so insecure about your masculinity that you can't reconcile being part of an equal partnership where you support each other when there's a problem. Imagine being that sort of asshat who finds intelligent women terrifying.
