Having read Dr Stanley’s latest spiel on American wealthy people and how they think and what drives their decisions…a couple of things stood out.
He reckons there is a strong positive correlate between the amount of wealth you have and the amount of golf you play !! Apparently it gets even stronger the higher up the food chain you go. Tennis is a poor second.
Of more interest, there is a strong negative correlate between the amount of wealth you have and the amount of DIY activities (home reno’s, fix up jobs, repairs etc) you perform.
Perhaps this is applicable for Ozzies as well..
I think all husbands should encourage their better halves to read the research…then justifiably put down the hammer and pick up the clubs ??
Yack – you’d agree wouldn’t you ??

Hi Dazzling
Oh well, looks like I am in real trouble: I hate Golf.Kerwyn
meanwhile i’m playing less golf recently as i’ve found out that if you sink LOTS of cash into a development there’s not enough left for golf!!!![angry2]
( i’m trying to think of a good way to convince the g/f about the DIY bit…)

Bite off as much as you can and CHEW LIKE HELL!!!
That makes sense. Look at how much golfers earn!! They make a bucket load!

Kerwyn,
Yeah – me too…but then DIY doesn’t turn me on either…perhaps I am destined for mediocrity ??
Ozi – I think it’s all wrapped up in the connections that you make whilst playing and ‘doing’ Golf.
Cheers,

I love Golf …. but I love DIY too.[blink]
Nevertheless it makes sense that if you can use your time to close profitable deals, why would you use that time in working on something that others can do for $400 a day. I suppose it all comes down to where do you get your sense of achievement from.
Now if I call it a hobby does it still count as DIY?[biggrin]
