Many many years ago my first marriage came to an unseemly end, due to an ill conceived and even worse conducted extra marital affair on the part of my “Butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth“ liar of a wife.

Two years ago, an old friend of mine who works in finance, offered me a free consultation to get my finances in tip-top shape.
