Hi Co Creators,

 

Wisdom Wednesday: Money Matters

 Are you looking for ways to create multiple streams of income?

Here’s an idea….This is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Now why didn’t I think of this!   A Well-Planned Retirement 

(from The London Times)
 

Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England , there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses. It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars £1 (about $1.40) and coaches £5 (about $7).  This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years.  Then, one day, he just didn’t turn up for work.
 ”Oh well”, said Bristol Zoo Management – “we’d better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant . . . ”

“Err . . no”, said the Council, “that parking lot is your responsibility.”
“Err . .. . no”, said Bristol Zoo Management, “the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn’t he?”  

“Err . . no!” insisted the Council.

Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain (presumably), is a man who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at £400 (about $560) per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million ($7 million – or $280,000 every year for 25 years)!

And no one even knows his name.

See you on Freedom Friday:

Yours in Creativity
