Goals should be Realistic too!
I know one lady whose husband is a graduate working in the Gulf. Typically like every Gulf employee he too is paid better than say an India job, but you really cannot get RICH on a job as a clerk.
So her get rich quick schemes have included collecting money for shady chit funds, shady companies, etc. Obviously she was a Talk Asia agent also.
Her ambition did not stop at these get rich quick schemes. She has pushed her daughter into the CA course. The poor kid did not enroll for Bcom – hoping to finish her CA. Sadly 4 years into the course she has not cleared the stage 1 – she is academically just inadequate to do CA.
I know her just casually – having spoken to her about the CA degree for her daughter, but she has not asked me for money for any of her schemes. Her ‘clients’ include a few General Managers, managers, clerks, government servants, teachers, NEWSPAPER VENDOR, MILK VENDOR, CABLE TV VENDOR,….and the amounts have varied from Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 200,000.
When the newspaper vendor told me (God knows why he choose me)..I asked him ‘What does she say?’ – He said ‘You gave the money to THAT company, ASK THEM…’ or ‘Did you give the cheque in my name or the name of THAT COMPANY…’ LOL.
She is a very shrewd, but dumb woman – last I heard one broking firm had enrolled her for ‘training’ in equity, commodities and forex markets….and she is in the process of becoming their sub-broker…
Do I need to add she is an insurance agent also?

As the saying goes: “…there’s one born every minute” !
And there are people like this lady who take advantage of that fact.
At least she had the ‘sense’ to NOT approach you… LOL…

Subra, why do you call her dumb?? She might be dishonest but not necessarily dumb.

Want to quote a DIALOGUE from the movie, EK KHILADI – EK HASINA (Starring Fardeen Khan)
“HAMARE DHANDE ME ROZ EK BAKRA PAIDA HOTA HAI KATNE KE LIYE…AUR CHAAR PAIDE HOTE HAIN USKO KAATNE KE LIYE.”
