I consider myself a reasonably educated person, I am an Engineer with 2 master&#8217;s degrees and a Ph.D but I am not rich in the financial sense (a bit like Robert Kyosaki&#8217;s one father in his celebrated book entitled<strong>, Rich Dad, Poor Dad).<\/strong> This tradesman is clearly doing<em> well and &#8216;good on him<\/em>&#8216; for that (no ill feeling from me  &#8211; only respect for what he has accomplished in one area of life). However, the point is, never assume that somebody driving a brand new Ferrari is a brain surgeon or a high-powered invest banker, etc. Wealth thus has very little to do with ones intelligence or common sense. A good lesson to bear in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ianboake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/A-concreters-sports-car-796x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ianboake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/A-concreters-sports-car-796x1024.jpg 796w, https:\/\/www.ianboake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/A-concreters-sports-car-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.ianboake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/A-concreters-sports-car-768x987.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ianboake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/A-concreters-sports-car.jpg 1057w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8216;Tradies&#8217; (tradesmen) do very well in Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I heard an awful screeching of tyres near my fence.
