    The Frugal Samurai wants your questions! (He’ll answer them…I think…)

    June 11, 2018

    Howdy guys! How’s your long weekend going? Yep, have to thank the Queen for that – us Sydneysiders, we celebrate the Queen’s Birthday on Monday – even though she was born on 21st April. That’s how baller she is – everyone has to celebrate her birthday on a day that is not her birth date. Westminster Represent Yo. It’s also been heaps wet in Old Sydney Town – so much so that grandpas and grandmas sit around the Winter fire telling the young ‘uns what it was like “back in the good old days” when the sun still shone through the clouds. Speaking of old tales and Winter fires, I caught…

    What I learnt during the Melbourne Cup!

    November 8, 2017

    And they’re off! “GALLOP, GALLOP”, “NEIGH, NEIGH” That’s the sound that stops a nation. Here in Australia, every first Tuesday of November, we have the world famous Melbourne Cup – a $6.2 million horse race which is watched all around the globe. It only lasts about 3 minutes, but the amount of money spent betting on this race day amounts to around half a billion. Strewth! Half a billion! What’s more is that you hear stories of the wins and success stories of the successful punters STRAIGHT after. “The big winners were everywhere on Cup day. One lucky punter has come away with $151,255 from a $50 boxed trifecta. Another…

    What I Know Now That I Wished I Had Known When I was 20

    November 1, 2017

    What a catchy title, did I hook you guys in? Of course you did TheFrugalSamurai, now TELL ME ALREADY! Yes of course I will, because I’m good like that. You better, cos I’m committed now you FFFF. 20 years ago, I was aged 10. The world was my oyster and I was in year 4. We learnt about fractions such as half of one half of an apple is not enough apples… wait, I think I went back a decade too far. 10 years ago, ah, that’s better. 10 years ago, I was aged 20 – just coming out of uni into the big bad world. I was bright and…

    Spot Check On Local Property Market

    October 29, 2017

    Evening ladies and gentlemen! Hope everyone had a great weekend – yes yes I agree, it is too short. Yesterday, I attended a few property inspections in my local area of Inner West Sydney – an area which has seen some phenomenal price growth during the latest boom. I wanted to do a spot check to gauge the market right now. The media report either a plateau or fall in price. And you know what? The market is different to a year ago, very different. The first inspection was a fairly standard 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1 car spot (2/2/1) apartment. I stayed for the duration of the open because…

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Oh TheFrugalSamurai I missed you so much, please don’t ever leave me. There there, it’s OK – I’m back now! But wait – where did you disappear to? Adelaide people, Adelaide. What’s Adelaide? Is that a cool and refreshing drink? No no – it’s a city in South Australia renowned for… umm… renowned for… (Cue dream-like music as scene travels back in time and fades to black. New scene, camera pans to car cruising down a busy road. It is night.) “HEY THEFRUGALSAMURAI WHAT’S YOUR BLOG ABOUT” said the person in the front passenger seat as we drove from Adelaide airport to our City hotel last…
