Just another casualty? .

God knows how many similar tragedies are developing throughout the country. Just until a couple years ago, young people were viciously encouraged to 'take a risk' as an 'entrepreneur, to be able to live like a celebrity as if it were the ultimate 'end' of your life, with the implication 'Otherwise you are a loser.'. Now this is the aftermath of taking a 'chance' in the name of 'risk' with your life. Know that taking a well-calculated risk is an art that takes skill and talent beyond far majority of people. It's a totally diffrent game than sheer gamble.

can't help but notice the 4x4 in the background. Why is it that these idiots think property is a one way ticket to riches, and spend all of their "paper" wealth on unnecessary rubbish like 4x4s.
