It’s December boys and girls! Don’t you just love it! Summer’s finally here in Old Sydney Town and everywhere you look people have that look of hope and joy and love in their eye. It’s true what they say about the weather and how it affects people’s moods – have a look at this, unless you club baby seals in your downtime – it’s hard not to feel some warmth. MrsFrugalSamurai-to-be and I spent our weekend diligently planning our upcoming wedding next year. We even interviewed a couple of wedding photographers. “Do you have a camera?” S…si senor “Can you take pictures with it?” Si senor “You’re hired”. But senor… I here…

My Friend’s Lessons In Love And Finance
Ding, Dong, the witch is dead! Which old witch? The Wicked Witch! Sorry guys, had that humming in my head all day, my friend Juggsy’s been love-struck recently and been moaning about his “witch” – (some mythical creature none of us has seen) which has his heart on a string. Poor bastard, he falls head over heels EACH time a girl flutters her eyelids at him. “LEAVE ME ALONE, I just want to play the piano and stroke my baby’s hair”. Just wow, REALLY feel for him. But the more I think about Juggsy’s predicament the more I can see parallel’s between what he’s going through with lurve to what…

Hay Guys! How you all going! Summer has well and truly come to Sydney and I spent most of it outdoors with friends, how about you?! Hope you had a cracker of a weekend as well! After the crazy week at work I’ve had, I needed this! Don’t you just love social interactions with good friends, good food and good times? What life should be all about. I got a bit of banter from a couple of friends about the last post as well – “hey funny guy, why don’t you actually post what you did instead of some Santa Claus fairytales?” S…sorry if my darkest childhood memories got in the…

What I Did After Losing $40,000
Back again folks! Hope you guys are doing well! Been a TOUGH week so far for yours truly, so earlier tonight I decided to do something different to reset my head-space and cheer on my friends as they played a quality game of futsal (indoor soccer). The effort from the guys was very inspiring and the social connection did me a world of good. Who won you say? “Football was the real winner” quipped one spectator. Following on from this I’m going to continue the series on me losing $40,000 – which by the way has racked up a decent amount of views so far (please share and comment and…

What I Learnt From Losing $40,000
Back again guys! I hope everyone enjoyed my previous post – the one where I gave myself a good paper-cut and squeezed some lemon juice onto old memories just for your viewing pleasure. There’s been a fair amount of messages about that episode, mainly around what I did next, what I learnt, what I’m wearing when I type out a post. To be frank (Anne – come and find me, oh dear “shakes head”) I took that hit pretty hard. I mean it wasn’t like I blinked twice slowly and then continued with whatever I was doing, it was a good 18 months or so before I could contemplate investing again…
