Wherefore art thou, Juliet and Romeo? Where be your dreams of home ownership? Have you cunningly faked your own death? Or are we staring down at your corpse? Why aren’t you lovely young couples buying homes? Has something in particular turned you off? Sick of the chase? Decided renting makes more sense? Because, truth be […]
A good “shock survey result” can be a great read. The good ones can rattle your cage, shake your little world. Get you focussed on something important in your life. That is, if you don’t deliberately divorce yourself from the findings by deflection. “They’re talking about other people, not me.” Or other species. Such as […]
I spent a good portion of my Christmas break learning some pretty amazing, sometimes too intricate, details about a mate. Over many nights, and many lagers, I heard a lot of stories about his youth. Many of them were stories about the 20-something backpacking lifestyle that I wished I’d lived. Others were experiences I’m happy […]
It’s January hangover time. We’re faced with choices. To lose weight, to reduce drinking, exercise more, spend more time with the kids. Best of luck with that. There’s a remote chance you might succeed. Historical averages suggest not so much. January 1 – half way through your summer indulgence – is, frankly, a stupid time […]
Ah, a bit of warmer weather and the Christmas party season is underway. Awesome time of year to be alive in Australia, or what? People’s moods lift with the extra sunshine, beer and bubbles flow, steaks sizzle on the barbie … who needs anything else to celebrate? Well, for one, here’s cheers to the stock […]
It happened to me while I was reading a book. A light dawned and smacked me in the eyes. It came as a shock, like finding out Darth Vader was Luke’s father. Your world does change when the penny finally drops about home ownership. A life with a mortgage and home ownership is definitely very […]
Investors, gather round. Come, let me explain the financial history we are about to witness. It’s an exciting first-time event in superannuation. There will be winners. Bucketloads of them. Some serious coin is going to be made. And if you’re correctly positioned and play things smart, you can be in on “the killing”. But, mark […]
When it comes to making money, there’s no such thing as luck. I don’t know anyone who has made their money through being lucky. I don’t have lucky numbers. I don’t pray for good financial fortune. Though I do hope that markets continue to do what they’ve done for centuries. I don’t read financial horoscopes. […]
Today, I’m the guy who holds a red rag to a bull. I’m standing in front of a rampaging herd of investors, holding great piles of cash, stomping and crunching everything in their way, chasing the “next big thing”. With the stampede rushing towards me, I have a simple message. I’m hoping to make a […]
