Need help from a whale to offset my massive trading losses
HOT! INTROIt's weird because I've been on here for a while, and I've never had the impression that anyone is after my money, not least because everyone I read posting on here in any volume seems to already have shedloads of money. I am aware that there's a paid area of the forum, but I haven't seen any...- UK_Mike

HOT! CHATYes, me. Well, classic cars at least, though I'm not sure whether there's any actual difference. This weekend is one of the big UK classic car shows.- UK_Mike

Don't mix family with business. Is it worth it or not?
PEOPLEI think you run the risk of ruining perfectly good friendships or businesses - if you have a disagreement about the business, it's not always easy (or possible) to keep that separate from the personal side of their friendship and it can cause divisions, sometimes serious or irreparable ones.- UK_Mike

HOT! CHATI watched an interesting TV programme about that a few years back, maybe "Mega moves", something like a bigger version of a WW2 DUKW with a load of yachts on blocks. Decent enough programme apart from the usual TV jeopardy - "will the yachts fall over the side half-way across the atlantic?"...- UK_Mike

HOT! CHATFacebook "suggested for you" posts are always rubbish for me. I don't know what kind of algorithm they have to figure out what I might like or be interested in, but it doesn't work properly. From time to time, I have to "hide all from" all these things. It's suggested Harry Potter-related groups...- UK_Mike

HOT! CHATI'm still hearing "We are obeying government guidelines on C0VlD-19 so queues might be longer". Lovely. Government guidelines are "get back to work, you lazy ****s". And get your auto-attendant updated.- UK_Mike

Living below your means is hard
MINDSETOf course it's difficult, that's why so many people have cars on contract hire, credit card bills they'll never be able to pay off, and are so highly leveraged that the slightest change in interest rates will cause them a problem. Compared to them, if you've bought your two nice shiny things...- UK_Mike

What skills should one learn to start a business in 2023?
IDEA QUESTIONI think your two threads are basically the same question, aren't they? You want to find a problem to solve, but at the same time you want to know what skills to learn - and I don't think there's much difference. When you find a problem that needs solving, then you look at whether you have the...- UK_Mike

MINDSETI was really replying to this bit: Like I said, if they're continually sniping at you because you're trying to do better than they do, because they don't have the same ambition, then that's a different thing. If they're spouting stuff that just isn't true by any standard, again that's probably...- UK_Mike

HOT! CHATI'm on Windows 10, had Spotify (free) installed, and it stopped working with one of those annoying "Oops, something went wrong, click to reload" messages that had no effect, but the web site worked so I just switched to that for the odd occasion I use it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling...- UK_Mike

MINDSETI'm not sure I'd want to pick or reject friends just because of what they choose to do with their life. Sure, it's annoying that they can't just drop everything when you want to go off for a few days because they've got to go to work. If they're good enough friends, surely that side of things...- UK_Mike

Feeling lost...
MINDSETSpending your way out of it doesn't seem like a good idea to me - I'm sure you could probably get similar value out of the internet for free, or for less. I haven't really been in your situation - I'd love to find something I can do, but I'm at the other end of the working lifespan to you, and...- UK_Mike

17 year old career advice
INTROIt's steady, rather than stratospheric. I for one presumed that when you said it was an engineering apprenticeship, it was learning how to use stuff like lathes, milling machines, design and make precision components and stuff rather than doing maintenance on buses. But, it will always be needed...- UK_Mike

How can I change this particular belief?
MINDSETWell, there's even less point in worrying about it if going to university wasn't an option for you, whatever the reason. I spend too much time being irritated about stuff like this when I should just move on. You can make use of other people's knowledge.- UK_Mike

How can I change this particular belief?
MINDSETParents generally tell you what they were told, or a modification of it. They might think that they didn't do very well themselves, and that they would have done better if only they'd got a degree, so they drum this into you. Or maybe they did do well for themselves and think that it's just...- UK_Mike

What Would Your Passion Business Be?

Most of what I do is fairly straightforward - I'd love to be able to produce some of the complicated curved bits, but it's tricky and needs a lot of practice, and I'm not sure it would be a decent investment in time.
