I remember watching a tv movie years ago about a kid that had a bet with his friend that he would be a millionaire, or have 10 million, or something, by a certain time, a week or something like that.

And he engineered a way, by blagging test drives in expensive cars etc, to get to an auction on a house.

His plan was to bid on the house when it reached £1M or more, he was convinced he would be outbid…..but those few seconds he would own that house and be worth it’s value.

So, it just shows how measuring on that basis is pointless.


As it happened, he won the auction and couldn’t pay for it……….and much hilarity ensued.
