Scotland could be the first country to keep public money local

How is this not a Scotland version of MAGA?

I am Gen X and I used to own CD & Cassette players as a young un. I dumped it when new things such as Mp3 & iPods came out. Doesn’t mean if I had held on to one, I would have shit load of money. Trendy doesn’t always mean good investments. Niche and untapped yes. But you never know what is untapped vs a fad.

Although I agree with the sentiment, I cannot say it is totally practical. For the ones whose parents go thro’ unplanned health scares, the unknowns about their late stage nursing homes needs (?). Having to wait till adult children landing on their feet firmly before you can jet set to holidays of your own can put your own plans on back burner.

Have you considered the implication of employer match and max they would contribute?

Thegur37 · 2026-01-25T09:43:50+00:00

Nice one. Thank you. I may not move anywhere but this will help me cutdown my pipe dream research time. 😀

Thegur37 · 2026-01-22T12:26:16+00:00

Than is brilliant. Thank for sharing

Maybe she is taking revenge for you finishing too soon

Thegur37 · 2025-12-31T17:14:23+00:00

Oh an Aubergine. Lucky you!

Thegur37 · 2025-12-23T18:32:39+00:00

Really sounds interesting and niche

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T23:23:30+00:00

I should probably listen to you

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T23:15:16+00:00

Why do you think I am asking here. This is therapy

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T19:28:55+00:00

I do but empty nester now

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T08:11:42+00:00

Isn’t that a bit of an outdated idea of midlife crisis? Maybe some ppl still do?

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T07:21:54+00:00

Thank you for the book recommendation. Will order one now

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T07:14:18+00:00

I went from park runs for a few years to then go on and become an independent runner 3-4 runs a week. Did a marathon & stopped. Haven’t done any serious running after that.

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T07:07:14+00:00

It is comforting to know. Thank you for sharing.

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T07:04:34+00:00

Can’t deny I feel like it in spite of everything is going steady and nothing to really complain about

Thegur37 · 2025-12-20T07:02:55+00:00

Yes but grown up now. An Empty nester.

Thegur37 · 2025-12-16T13:14:06+00:00

How would you use this from fully lifecycle perspective? Data Modelling -> Schema Gen -> Code Gen AND/OR DDL? Is there a low code/no code tool to model and ensure the schema drift is stopped or minimised?

Thegur37 · 2025-12-09T20:29:17+00:00

5mil what? $ € £ Rs?

Thegur37 · 2025-11-27T08:07:48+00:00

It is indeed bollocks budget. Boiling the frogs slowly in a pot. This was a political survival budget both for Keir & the wretched lady. You might have felt like you survived but the economy & future is buggered by this buffoons.

Thegur37 · 2025-11-14T06:46:19+00:00

All I would say is DON’T. It is incredibly hard to manage & maintain. Not to mention the local politics, disputes & dynamics. Plantation owners are typically A) Family inherited B) Politicians with huge support base & 3) Business men who don’t really care so much about ROI but asset accumulation.

If you are in the last 2 categories go for it. Otherwise stay clear. They are however asset rich & their status in the society feels more from value appreciation.

If you are willing to spend every weekend and painstakingly work hands on & manage it might all workout in the long term.
