By the end of the summer, I was able to buy my first electric guitar in Rudy’s guitar shop in Manhattan. What purchase have you made that you consider the best value for money? About eight years ago, I bought a second-hand Renault Megane for €800; it was nicknamed the Copper Rocket due to its questionable metallic orange colour. The last thing I bought was a car to enable me to finally retire the Copper Rocket. The way my income has worked has always been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride.
