This is a question Get Rich Quick

Jabboy contacted us because he's skint. So what have you done to make money fast? Did you actually make anything, or were you just ripped off by someone who really was getting rich quick? Did you have to sell your soul?

PS. Jabboy is available for rent on 0870 88673242

There's no such thing.
A wise old man once told me there was no way to get rich quick, and that money could only be made by good honest toil.

This was from behind the stocking he was wearing over his head as he pointed a sawn off shotgun at me in the bank in which I worked.

I now work as a consultant in the city of London, a position which entails turning up at clients site in an expensive pinstipe suit around mid morning, sitting in front of a laptop answering emails for 5 hours a day, and charging a thousand pounds a day for delivering 'solutions' to the client, based loosely around ethereal project briefs and high level designs cobbled together in visio in between lavishly expensed lunches.

I neither know nor care when or indeed if the project on which I am working will ever be finished, because, as I am constantly telling my client, it is a very fluid industry in which we work and our overall goalposts shift continually. I then present them with a bill containing more digits than a highly-desirable Greater London phone number, and leave for home with an immense feeling of having made a difference.

Next week I take delivery of a brand new Aston Martin. But, ask the doubters, am I 'Truly' happy?

Yes.

I do love the Astons
But if I could afford a new one I would probably buy a 1972 DBS instead, decent ones go for about 50k but they are breathtakingly beautiful.

Also then I may have enough for a 67 Fastback Shelby Mustang saw a lovely one on Autotrader for 30k a while back... it was black and if I was a man I would have probably had to make a trip to the toilets.....

*goes back to daydreaming about cars*
