I enjoyed the show but it held few suprizes for me but those suprizes
there were were shockers!
It's worth a watch if you get to see it.

Did you know that you'll own 12 cars in a normal 77 yr 9 mo lifespan?
That few? I never owned a car before age 32, and in the ensuing 20 years, I've owned 5 by myself, and shared two with my ex.
How many bicycles did they say you would own?
