Coz at 40 years of age I applied to go back in the Army.

Only applying for Officer - full time. I will have my degree finished soon so i want to go into sigs. But I am unlikely to be accepted at my age anyway.

But shit yeah things are starting to suck at the everyday income level of things. Gone is the day I could pick up painting and decorating work for $$$$$$$$ whenever I felt like it.

I need a few K to launch my PPC stuff and have a pile of unassembled electronics components that will be worth about US$15 K.

I reckon I should do a WSO. Just gotta decide what on.

    Do a WSO and let us know about it buddy. I don't think the Army will let you in at 40.

    Hi, Gareth,

    That all sounds rather sad.

    It seems that you have to decide whether you are the sea, flopping and surging about all over the place, or an ocean liner with a planned course and the engine to power you along it.

    You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
    Build it, make money, then build some more
    Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!

    How about writing a book on Sex with sheep?

    But if your post is serious and things are bad, we all wish you well mate.

    No I am just whining.

    Things are actually not so bad, tonight I have $300 in my pocket and am off to a strip show. Heh heh so it cant be so bad at all.

    As for the army thing - this gives me motivation

    1. to get fitter

    2. to get my shit together so i dont have to join anyway

    Besides i would like to know if i am still up to it.

    As for marketing I finally have the traffic and list building side sussed - so now i must focus on developing the right products and email copy.

    One thing that is pissing me off lately is the NEWS. Like get that NZ had the lowest national unemployment in the world at 3.5% a year or so back - now we are at about 4.6%

    But on the News the minister of finance is saying it will be over 11% by the end of this year.

    This is very bad news, and hence I am a little concerned about the immediate future.

    And to top it off I'm having a mid life crisis.
