That’s the attitude the young ones should be having this not a “woe its me sticking their hands out for hand outs” For far too long the young generation have been spoilt and living a life beyond their means!! Come back down to earth & start paying off ur maxed out credit cards!!

Great article on a suburb young man! I wouldn’t mind getting into business with him. Dedicated, hardworking, loyal he has it all!

Ok. That’s one
