Good advise , that works the world over these days , even in destitute Cambodia , people have become too grasping for the dollar , escalating costs are often due more to 'Get rich quick wanabees ' than actual production costs . Dreaming is counter productive to productivity , why do you think Wallmart became so prolific in sales=profits ? . Colin .

Fortunately, not all of us have forgotten our manners, but it does seem that people everywhere are becoming more selfish in their actions. Such a shame.

Well after almost 6 months of trying, my daughter just sold her little house. Real problem was that she had bought in partnership with the ex-boyfriend and needed to break off the old relationship totally. New boyfriend helped her decorate and tidy place up, she dropped price by 10% and then accepted an offer a little less again but she is happy with result. I am afraid she has learned the hard way that owning your own house is not always a money maker.
