Perils of paying in advance
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007I will be the first one to acknowledge that I am a bad businessman. I have squandered away a considerable portion of my inhertance due to my inability to have an instinctive grasp of the value of money. Evolutionarily speaking, this might appear strange at first, but it isn’t. I consider myself a warrior, and in the past, for people like me, cogitating on the nuances of economics wasn’t a profitable enterprise. My ancestors were nobility, and our primary job was to kill and be killed on the battlefield. The petty details of day to day balancing of accounts was a chore that was left to the merchant class.
