Legend (The Best Of The Early Years) - Dean Martin

Advantages: Good advice, clear plain english, accessible to all
Disadvantages: none

...Anyone who has read any of my reviews in the past will notice a clear personality defect emerging. I like the high life of top notch restaurants, but crave the security that being in charge of my financial destiny brings. Like the white stripes once wrote 'the two sides of my brain need to have a meeting'. And so it was Head 2 that I was wearing the day I picked up 'How to retire 10 years early'. I have to fly a fair bit for my job, not for much longer though, my pregnant stomach is becoming more and more noticeable and then my evil boss will no longer be able to send me away?ha-ha!!!
