I, as a pensioner, will spend up to $300 today on horses at an obscure meeting in Woodville. Now some will call me a waster or a fool or whatever but Friday night I will go out to a show and dinner and on Saturday I will go to the Club, drink some ale and spend some more on the horses. Now I may win, I often do but either way I can afford this lifestyle in NZ so if you feel that you are hard done by or mis-managed here go and visit or live in some of the places I have been to - and that includes Australia and the UK.
