Love Climbs In
Jun. 19th, 2013 08:53 pmI must say, this particular Barbara Cartland title sounds like it's about a stalker.*
According to Care's Global Rich List, I am in the top 0.36% richest people in the world by income, making me the 23,866,015th richest person in the world. But then, it also says I am only in the top 6.18% richest people in the world by wealth, meaning I am only the 283,643,755th richest person in the world. That's a big difference, isn't it? I think what I'm meant to take away from that website is how immensely privileged I am (and I am, I know), but what I'm also taking away is that I really should invest better.
I was supposed to go to Melbourne for a study day tomorrow - budgeting and forecasting, woo! - but they rang this afternoon to say the presenter was sick and could they re-schedule for 10 July? The young woman was very apologetic, but, as I said, it means I don't have to get up at four o'clock to catch the train tomorrow morning, so thanks.
* I looked it up. Apparently it features an abused chimney sweep (!), which is probably where the climbing comes into it. I wish the Dame's publishers would take a leaf from pulp westerns and give each title a helpful tagline. Imagine:
Love Climbs In
It Leaves Soot on the Axminster!
I'd read that.
