L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

Advice For the Wannabe Millionaire

When an exciting new venture presents itself for your investment
Research the situation and seek outside advice before buying in,
Before signing on the line seek independent, expert assessment
Restrain yourself from going into partnership with any close kin.

The pressure to capitulate in what seems the perfect opportunity
Can be overwhelming when it comes from your family or a friend,
But always keep in mind that your loss will be a burden in futility
If your “nothing can go wrong” adventure comes to a bitter end.
