Loving the Looooong Weekend
Haaaaay, wishful thinking. I received a text message as early as 8am from a prospective client asking him to call me. WTF? Do you have any respect for the Holy week? Bug off.

This is not looking good for me.
aaack, I have to get off the post. Gotta cook some pasta for momma.

...When time and space are between us
...When sorry becomes harder to swallow
...When words cut and kill
...When enough is really enough
... three dots remain...

The great thing about insurance is that it can also be an investment. Instead of letting your cash sleep in the bank, or worse, letting the shopping malls eat it all up, this is a good way of earning additional muchos without lifting a finger, plus, you're insured.
Now, i tried getting my own policy since Erik told me that it would still be ideal to get it at 23. I thought I would be paying only around 25K a year but it shocked me that in order to get a good investment type insurance, I have to shell out around 50grand. Now, that's gotta be hard on the pocket. Even though Erik wants me to think that in essence, this is really just a forced saving, it kind of limits my wants vs. my needs. How can I travel to
