    How much do you need to live every year?

    I like your breakfast..might try that sometime:) Not very often I see asparagus for 47c a tin. To me, that was treat food, growing up and my favorite way to eat it. This morning it was cooked oatmeal and sliced kiwi, with toast. Oatmeal is great for lowing cholesterol.

    How much do you need to live every year?

    Sorry, I should clarified what I was referring to. I was thinking about when a homeowner hires a tradie to do electrical work,masonry,gardening etc. I wasn't talking about someone running a business and paying their employees this way. Even if an employer did pay their employees in cash, all...
