No.
Perhaps a bit. My dad did try things like betting on sports and a bit of currency trading in a page called Oanda(?). From what I remember he did learn about that trading page on his own. And had a good start at it but died before he could achieve real profits. So he likely only got back what he invested. Perhaps I did got some patience from him. Perhaps even desire to work for myself? Useful in both art and blogging. I can't imagine living in some other place. But perhaps I would feel safer if I would live in Spain or Italy. Mostly I just supported my dad's dreams because I thought that it will allow him to keep going forward and living longer but I don't think that I actually expected to move again. As for ostriches I think that chasing them could be a good workout but I think that they can be quite dangerous.
