Why Fantasies should remain Fantasies

halibutThis is called a sport fishing fantasy. But you have to be careful with fantasies. There is a real reason they are called fantasies. You really don’t want them to become realities. Imagine if this were your fish. Now, think how much it is going to cost you to clean it. Can you put that many fillets in your freezer?  Do you want to eat halibut every day for the next year? Do you want to know the real price of a fantasy? Well, everyone wants to win mega millions without doing anything. But a year after they won the big bucks, 90% of the winners are worse off than the day they won the big bucks. Better you worked for what you earned. At least you’ll know what it’s worth. So be careful what you wish for – you just might get it!
