   > cash flow is really the only upside to paying off a mortgage decades early. In my limited experience, the freedom of not having a mortgage and a car loan, or any other type of debt, far outweighs the benefits of just cash flow. We now

   1. Good work. 2. Yes that would be best. We get about as many good candidates from these posts as we get from the other recruitment channels together. Invaluable for us. Thanks!

    Nice. It feels like the linking of pieces starts to early, or is even unnecessary. It takes longer to finish a game without it, but the linking feels unnecessary. Good work! This one I'd buy.

    Not disputing that at all, but why are they still truck drivers if there are alternative jobs? And if there are no nice alternative jobs, what are they going to do instead and why aren't they doing that now? Taxi driving is one of the

    I think it is interesting that this is essentially an somewhat subtle ad for investment banking for high net worth individuals.

    If you work in IT I am sure it can be arranged. It will take a bit of time though. Get a job with a EU based company (in the Schengen agreement), but in their local office to you. Work for a couple of years there. Then get a transfer to one

    Isn't that a bit like saying "if you want to change politics, go for it, it is your political parties". There is so much entrenched interests in most of these structures that it is really hard changing them. You could start a
