"A year ago I agreed to give a lucrative speech and, once the date was booked, I felt rich and spent the fee. On delivering the speech, I felt I had actually earned it, so spent it again. Subsequently the company got into financial difficulty and failed to pay me, which was a shame as I had already spent the money twice. Six months later, out of the blue, the money arrived. As I had mentally written it off, this counted as a windfall, so I spent it all over again."
