    Can You Work Your Way to Wealth?

    October 20, 2019

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes What’s up boys and girls! OK, so I found out something very interesting this week. If you earnt $5,000 a day, Monday to Friday from the time the First Fleet set foot in Australia until now… you wouldn’t be a billionaire. Nope. Although, you would have a paltry $288 million. That’s A LOT of Dough. Yeah, though that’s after 230 years, 250 working days each year at $5,000 a day… BUT If you had the foresight to leave it in a bank account etching out a 2% return p.a. then your $288 million would return… Over $6.2 BILLION. That would be a 22x increase.  And that’s…

    I’m Still Here!

    October 3, 2019

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes So I thought it best to shoot out a quick post just to let everyone know that yes, I am still alive and no, I have not forgotten about you. It’s just been TOO much this past week. I wrote last time (read here) that I had embarked on a whirlwind property scouting weekend a few days ago… And what a few days since! You see, I had shortlisted and viewed a couple of dozen or so properties in those two days, and now it’s time to get stuck into due diligence. So please excuse me as I’ve been trying to cull this one here and…

    What’s Got Me So Pumped?!!!

    September 25, 2019

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Hey guys! What’s going on!!! Excuse me for sounding EXCITED. But I’m going shopping on the weekend. Not for my usual Sunday grocery shop mind you… No, for PROPERTY. Love it, love it, love it. Will be catching the red-eye once again and hopping over to some remote corner of our nation to hopefully snag a bargain or three. In fact, it’s what kept me going these past couple of TOUGH weeks (wowee were they tough alright) – knowing that I’m again re-focused and re-energized on my financial goal… ain’t it AMAZING? I must admit that in recent months I have been a bit distracted and…

    What’s Ayers Rock Got To Do With Getting a Mortgage?

    September 18, 2019

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes “Idō shite kudasai” I looked back… a smirking Japanese boy of 8 looks up at me. Hesitantly, I snake around the chain link fence and let him move past. This is it, I say to myself… if a kid can do it, I can bloody well do it. ~~~ OK so you might be thinking, what is he on about? Well, MrsFrugalSamurai and I spent the last few days in the Australian Outback… or more specifically, in the dead centre of our great country, where we visited the famous Uluru, or Ayers Rock. It was quite an incredible experience and I can totally see why many…

    A Timely Reminder

    September 11, 2019

    Reading Time: 1 Minute A note to self…as part of R U OK? (For those of us who are going through a tough time). There’s plenty of things going on, so many distractions and really no one knows for sure what it is we are doing. But you know – always striving and hoping to be the best person you can be is everything we can wish for. Sometimes life will get us down, and sometimes we’re on our knees praying for everything to just go away, to leave us alone. It ain’t easy, life never is. But we have to breathe. We have to stand up and believe in…
