What is your Money Confession? (Your biggest money win or stuff up)
After the purchase of my first investment property, I gained a new-found respect for money and where it can get you in life. I then joined the Simple Savings website and reduced my annual personal expenses from $66k pa to $42k pa. Within 18 months, I had purchased my 3rd property. My cut in personal expediture is enough to cover one of my loan repayments.
What is your financial goal?
To be financially free - for work to be optional, and free enough to travel the world!

Hello All

Just to let you know, I'll be away for the next week, returning 25th Aug, Monday.... just in case you start to wonder!

I am off to South Australia... I trust most of you will think is not very exciting, but it so is to me! Both my parents family are from there, so I'll be catching up with Aunties, Uncles, Cousins I have not seen for some 15 years!

I've been getting into genealogy of late, so I'm entering a smorgasbord of information!

...until I return...

Cheers
Lisa

The support is well deserved

My belief is that forums such as this are to support those that deserve the support.

I have learnt heaps over time and am still learning, the intraction on sites such as this give me the pleasure of passing on some of my knowledge while learning from others

Hello Lisa

Given the quality of your discussions, your open views on financial subjects and your knowledge of where you are investing I have no doubt in your ability to become financially free. Sooner rather than later

BTW I built most of my wealth in the last 10 Years

Too true, although in a way Australia has never stopped being colonised! With the influx of my dad's generation from Mediterranean Europe, then the Vietnamese, Chinese, people from the Middle East and now Africa, wider Australia is already speaking dozens of languages!

I'd love to go to Italy (again) and my mum's roots are in Scotland, which I've never visited. And Australia, of course. Such a big country, with so many places to visit.

Maybe she's just "big-boned" :)

Best to steer clear of drugs if you can - the medical profession always suggests drugs because it's the easiest option for them. They have no emotional stake in the matter so drugs are easy to prescribe. Let her be fat, I say!

Hi Lisa,
Yes, i like the tips sheet. still thinking whether to join in, but i think it's cheaper than other communities i found.
I dont mind paying as long as they're good.
Free information is about as good as they cost...

It's OK for something that's free, but not great. The fact that you have to pay is what makes me really look at it and it looks like something cobbled together by someone for a school project.

Give you can get this kind of info for free elsewhere and also the emotional support from other free forums like this one, I can't justify forking out to someone who is making a fortune from it herself. She espouses one thing but makes a fortune herself so I'm doubtful that she uses any of these "tips" herself. I could be wrong - I've been called a cynic more than once before! :)

The net's good like that - you never know what you're going to come across!!

You should put up some pics of your cats on your page...

Can you feed the fat cat in a separate room? I suppose you've already thought of that...change the food to something he/she doesn't like as much?

My gut reply. Study more. If you are going to re-enter the labour pool then it is better to do it at a higher level.
