Dykee, thanks for your rant, suggest you go home from Wullies after having drunk all the Buckie and get a good night's sleep. Why invest here if uou have no ambitions to make money or are you determined to bankrupt yourself? Or is it purely altruistic? You must be doing well for yourself and not being a little feeder if you can get away for 4 or 5 days 10 or 12 times a year in your 3 or 4* hotels. I personally prefer the 5* I'm too old to be staying jn hostels and carrying around a rucksack, I've worked hard all my life, I've done the shoestring budget holidays, there were many years we didn't have a holiday at all because we couldn't afford it or work got in the way. Thankfully by being prudent and making sacrifices I can now afford the 5* hotels and first class flights, I've earned the right for these luxuries through hard graft, these things are my reward. Not being on a budget does not mean one cannot immerse oneself into a culture and fully experience the history and integrate with the people of a country, it means I can tip that extra, pay more for that street food, not haggle too much with the trader, donate to charities that help improve the lives of those forgotten by their governments.
PREM won't make you the millionaire you want to be, or the millionaire Snowking suggests you'll become, hard work and sacrifice will make you financially secure and able to enjoy your later years be that in a hostel or a 5* hotel.
